What GPs need to know about melanoma patients on systemic therapies

In the last decade, the treatment landscape for melanoma has been transformative for patients with advanced disease. Although managed primarily by medical oncologists, it is important for GPs to be across which treatments are available for their patients as they are often the first point of contact when a patient becomes unwell.  In this podcast, Medical Oncologist Professor Georgina Long discusses how systemic therapy is used in the treatment of advanced melanoma, and how a GP can identify and manage toxicities in patients being treated with targeted or immunotherapies.  This podcast is suitable for GPs, Skin Cancer GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals. Please note that this podcast was accurate at the time of recording (Oct 2019) but may not reflect the rapidly evolving treatment landscape and approvals in Australia.
