Guideline
Cutaneous melanoma
Many specialties and professions are involved in the management of patients with melanoma. This guideline provides advice at all stages of the patient’s pathway of care, from primary prevention to early recognition, treatment and follow up. It does not address melanomas of non-cutaneous origin such as melanomas arising from mucosae, ocular melanomas and other rare non-cutaneous sites.
The guideline should be of interest and relevance to primary care providers, dermatologists, surgeons, pathologists, medical and clinical oncologists, public health physicians, nurses, health promotion professionals, epidemiologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, general practitioners and patient support groups.
