Melanoma Management – Skin Checks, Biopsies and Therapies
Melanoma Management – Skin Checks, Biopsies and Therapies is a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course designed to provide healthcare professionals with practical and evidence-based knowledge regarding the early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care of melanoma. The course focuses on improving clinical confidence in recognising suspicious skin lesions, identifying high-risk individuals, performing appropriate examinations, and understanding current therapeutic options. Melanoma is one of the most serious forms of skin cancer and represents a significant public health concern, particularly in countries with high ultraviolet (UV) exposure such as Australia. Early identification and treatment are critical because melanoma can spread rapidly to other organs if not detected promptly.

Frequently asked questions
Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer arising from pigment-producing melanocyte cells.
People with fair skin, high UV exposure, multiple moles, or family history may have increased risk.
It helps assess asymmetry, border irregularity, colour variation, diameter, and evolving lesions.
Dermoscopy improves visual examination and assessment of suspicious skin lesions.
Biopsies confirm diagnosis and provide staging information for treatment planning.
Follow-up helps monitor recurrence, detect new lesions, and support ongoing patient care.
