Melanoma Focus Booklet

We have produced a booklet Melanoma: What it is and How to Reduce your Risk for the general public and patients, carers and fundraisers in particular. It includes the following sections:

• What is melanoma?
• How does melanoma start?
• How do I know if a lesion on my skin could be suspicious?
• The ‘skin safety first’ guidelines
• What happens if a skin lesion is diagnosed as a melanoma?
• What are the treatment options if melanoma spreads?
• How do doctors decide which treatment to use?
• Are any major advances in sight in the fight against melanoma?
• How can I reduce the risk of melanoma?
• How are donations to Melanoma Focus used?
