Melanoma Program

The Stanford Melanoma Program has a strong multidisciplinary focus involving dermatology, medical and surgical oncology, dermatopathology, nuclear medicine, and radiation oncology. Specialists have great expertise in prevention, early detection, and management of localized and metastatic melanoma.

Multidisciplinary Clinic

The Stanford Multidisciplinary Melanoma Clinic provides evaluation and management for individuals diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma, nodal metastasis, and disseminated disease. Cutaneous melanoma patients with thinner melanomas and those with atypical mole syndrome are followed in the Pigmented Lesion and Cutaneous Melanoma Clinic.

Stanford is an active participant in the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Multicenter clinical trials for melanoma, and a number of studies are open for patients with high-risk cutaneous disease, regional nodal metastasis, and disseminated disease. Collaboration with our basic science departments will continue to provide new techniques and insights in diagnosis and treatment of melanoma.
