Can patient-led surveillance detect recurrent or new primary melanoma & reduce need for routinely scheduled follow-up? A Randomised Controlled Trial. [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Melanoma survivors need lifelong skin checks for new melanomas and other skin cancers. Technology now provides smartphone Apps which guide patients’ own skin checking and allow photography of areas of possible concern. The results are sent for a dermatologist’s review, which may prompt a clinic visit for further investigation. However the effectiveness & safety of using new technologies for skin checks are unknown, and our trial seeks to generate the evidence needed to assess this.
