EUROSKIN Lecture
Do we still need skin cancer prevention following the therapy revolution? Undeniably, the advent of targeted and immune therapies has been a “game-changer” for many patients with melanoma. Indeed, these new approaches to treating previously fatal cancers have had such revolutionary impact that some are now questioning whether there is any need to pursue preventive activities. It is important to remember however, that therapies do nothing to reduce the incidence of disease, and while they may confer survival benefits to some, the benefits are not shared equally by all those afflicted. Therapies are also not without harm or financial cost. A holistic approach to melanoma control would combine evidence-based strategies targeting prevention, early detection and treatment in the most cost-effective manner possible. |
