Melanoma Insights for Professionals

Melanoma: When do I scan?


Listen Later

With the advent of effective medical therapies for melanoma, a pertinent question has arisen: When should we scan our patients?

In this podcast, our multidisciplinary experts, led by A/Prof Sydney Ch’ng, discuss the balance of whether we should be more aggressive in our pursuit of identifying potential metastases or exercise caution to avoid unnecessary scans, radiation exposure and patient anxiety. The discussion concludes with a case study to summarise key learnings.

This podcast is suitable for Medical Oncologists, Oncologists, Surgeons, GPs, Oncology Nurses and other healthcare professionals.
