Is there still a role for sentinel lymph node biopsy in the modern melanoma era for clinical stage IIB/C ? Prof. Andrew Barbour’s brilliant talk reminds us that YES, there is! #Togetheramplifyingtheimpact #MelanomaCare #CancerResearch #AMC2024 Melanoma Institute Australia Translational Research Institute

Having attended & presented at many midwifery, nursing, diabetes conferences over the years, this year’s #AMC2024 would have to rank as #1. Congratulations Melanoma Institute Australia

As Australian Melanoma & Skin Cancer Alliance Chair, it was a fabulous opportunity to showcase the achievements of our 11 melanoma & skin cancer Alliance member organisations at #AMC2024. But, to discover the hidden dramatic arts talents of our consumers during the debate in the same session was priceless!


One of the many highlights of #AMC2024 was meeting Jeffrey Gershenwald, Chair of the 8th Edn AJCC Melanoma Staging Panel!

According to our Austs of the Year Professor Georgina Long AO (Bluesky @gvlongphdmd) & Professor Richard Scolyer AO, #melanoma experts, there’s nothing healthy about a tan.


🗣 Session 2, "Consumer Forum", focussed on providing our wonderful consumers w/ updates on our cohort study presented by Dr Uyen Koh and the use of AI in skin cancer detection by Dr Victoria Mar. The session ended with an interactive Q&A/poll presented by Alison Button-Sloan 📊
