Melanoma
 
 

There are several practices in Dermatology which manage Melanoma. To identify the correct practice, the thickness of the primary Melanoma is required.

  • If the Melanoma was 1.0mm or less, then an appointment in the Pigmented Lesion Practice is appropriate.
  • If the Melanoma is 1.0mm or greater, if there is evidence of recurrence or metastases, or if the Melanoma is of unusual circumstance (arising in a congenital nevus, for example), then an appointment should be made in the High Risk Melanoma Practice.
