Call for nationally accredited GP training in skin cancer
The push comes on the back of global research that predicts invasive disease will jump 50% by 2040
Australian experts are calling for a nationally accredited skin cancer training program for GPs to manage a “tsunami” of new melanoma cases predicted over the next two decades.
The calls came in response to research that shows worldwide cases of invasive melanoma are expected to hit 510,000 new cases a year by 2040 — a 50% increase on 2020 numbers.
