Melanoma Insights for Professionals

Getting the pathology right: Melanoma in General Practice

Listen Later

Treating clinicians rely on pathology to help diagnose and stage their patient which fundamentally determines the treatment management  plan. Therefore, it is incredibly important to get it right in the first place.

In this engaging podcast aimed at GPs, our multidisciplinary experts discuss:

  • Why can it be challenging to get the pathology right?
  • What clinical information is important to include on the pathology request form?
  • How is the pathology report structured?
  • How is the specimen processed?
  • What biopsy is key to maximising the diagnostic and prognostic interpretation of the pathology?
  • Are partial biopsies ever appropriate?
  • What implications does the type of biopsy have for subsequent surgery?
  • When does a GP need to refer their patient?

    • The discussion is concluded with two case studies to summarise key learnings.

    This podcast is suitable for GPs, Dermatologists, Surgeons, Oncologists, Pathologists and other healthcare professionals.
