If you need multispecialty care, our team of specialists, including dermatologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists and many other specialists, will work together to provide a comprehensive management plan, no matter the stage of your illness.
Genetics
Research has revealed a number of different genes, which often run in families, increase the chances for melanoma to occur. Some of these genes are
very rare, but for those that have them, the chances for developing melanoma are high. For this reason, the Multidisciplinary Melanoma Clinic often works
closely with the Cancer Genetics Clinic. This doesn't happen for all of our patients, only
those with these indications.
Support
Since our program is part of the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center, our patients have access to
Patient/Family Support Services. To fully understand what this means, please take time to visit the For Cancer Center Patients area of this
website. We outline the services available to our patients at every point in their care.
Children and young adults diagnosed with melanoma are treated in C. S. Mott Children's Hospital. Please visit Pediatric Melanoma
for
