The State of Melanoma Care: Advances, Access, and the Road Ahead

Today, May 5, marks Melanoma Monday, an day dedicated to raising awareness about melanoma and encouraging proactive measures in early detection and prevention. As the dermatology community rallies behind melanoma awareness efforts, Dermatology Times has compiled an in-depth, comprehensive slideshow recap of the latest developments in melanoma diagnostics, treatments, and research.

Our slideshow provides a state-of-the-state rundown of key updates, including advancements in diagnostic tools, treatment innovations, and new insights into the psychological and lifestyle factors affecting patients with skin cancer.

We highlight the cutting-edge progress in melanoma care, including artificial intelligence models that achieve 99.86% accuracy in skin cancer detection, advancements in immunotherapy and gene expression profile testing, and an emerging understanding of how lifestyle factors influence melanoma outcomes. In addition, we explore rare case studies, psychosocial effects on melanoma survivors, and the potential for electrochemotherapy in treating skin cancers in immunosuppressed patients.
