Determining the natural history of localized high-risk melanoma and risk factors for melanoma metastasis [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Lena von Schuckmann (Principal investigator)

Brief description This PhD thesis aims to describe 2-year survival rates of patients with localised melanoma. We will investigate risk factors and patterns of melanoma spread in patients with high-risk localised lesions. Risk factors for developing ulcerated versus non-ulcerated melanomas will be explored. We aim to describe support service use in melanoma patients in rural, regional and urban areas in Queensland.
