Patient information

At Melanoma Institute Australia, we believe it is important for health professionals, patients and their families to be as well informed as possible about skin cancer and melanoma prevention, early detection, melanoma diagnosis and treatment. The following brochures provide detailed information about certain aspects of melanoma, including several procedures.

Melanoma & skin cancer prevention and early detection

We have two brochures available for patients and health practitioners. You can download or JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING order brochures. The brochures are supplied free to the community but you may wish to consider making a donation to help offset print costs.

Melanoma patient information brochures

We have produced a number of information brochures for melanoma patients which describe common diagnostic tools and treatments for melanoma, as well as our BioSpecimen Bank and clinical trials.
