Melanoma and Skin Cancers

Together, UC San Diego Health dermatologists and cancer experts offer comprehensive care for melanomas and skin cancers. When melanomas are detected early, most can be cured by simple surgery. Some patients, however, have a high risk for recurrence or spread of melanoma and require an integrated care plan. Our team of specialists in dermatology, dermatopathology, medical oncology and surgical oncology work together to provide you with a personalized treatment plan.

  • Detailed evaluation and follow-up of individuals who have multiple moles, a suspicion of melanoma, or who are at high risk for melanoma.

  • State-of-the-art therapies for each disease stage
  • Opportunity to participate in research programs and clinical trials

Our cancer services are designed to integrate patient care and research expertise. Our on-site research laboratories allow our physicians to bring their clinical questions to the lab, which can lead to the design of new treatments. This communication between physicians and scientists underlies our strength in developing innovative treatments that hold true hope for patients.
