Melanoma has many mimics, making detection a challenge. However, early detection and appropriate management of melanoma is crucial to ensuring a patient has the best chance of survival.
In this podcast from Melanoma Institute Australia, their multidisciplinary panel discuss:
- the clinical presentation of melanoma
- tips to help make a clinical diagnosis
- understanding the histological features for diagnosis
- how to know when to biopsy
- which biopsy is best
- ramifications of subtotal biopsies
- who requires a sentinel node assessment and what does that involve
In addition, the panel reviews a case study to put learnings into practice.

- A/Prof Jonathan Stretch AM - Surgical Oncologist and Deputy Medical Director, Melanoma Institute Australia
