May 7, 2023
Abstract
Australia has one of the highest incidences of cutaneous melanoma in the world. Indeed, melanoma is so common that it is estimated to be the third most diagnosed cancer in Australia in 2022 and is the most common cancer in people aged 20–39 years. The management of melanoma continues to evolve, with significant advances being made over historical approaches, resulting in improved patient outcomes. This review provides a concise overview of the screening, diagnosis and management of melanoma in Australia.
