AMSCA: a sector-wide voice for the peak consumer, research & treatment organisations working to improve outcomes for people affected by melanoma and skin cancer

[Melanoma Institute Australia @MelanomaAus]

The working party updating the 'Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Melanoma' is now seeking comment from clinicians and the community.

This year’s #MelanomaMarch campaign, which was the largest ever, raised vital funds to support the updating of these guidelines.

The first six chapters of the Guidelines have now been updated and are open for public consultation until 30 June.

Additional chapters will be released for public consultation over the coming months.

The clinical guidelines working party is supported by Melanoma Institute Australia and Cancer Council Australia.

To provide comments on the updated Guidelines, please go to the yellow 'Public Consultation' section on this page > https://t.co/2oJ5Ny1XTZ

@AnneECust was the first keynote speaker for the final day of #ASDR2024

Her interesting talk focused on #Melanoma risk assessment using genetic & traditional risk factors, and how people perceive, and often dichotomise their risk.
