Evaluation & Diagnosis

Each patient receives personal attention from the Cutaneous Oncology Multidisciplinary Team.

The team meets regularly to discuss patient care issues and refine individual patient treatment plans.

Patients who benefit most from a consult with our Cutaneous Oncology Multidisciplinary Team include those:

• Patients with previously untreated local-regional cancers of the skin, especially, melanoma.
• Patients who have undergone surgery for malignancies of the skin before being seen at Karmanos Cancer Institute.
• Any patient with melanoma or other cutaneous malignancies who specifically requests being seen for a second opinion.
• Access to the most innovative treatment and surgical options, like Mohs, for your cancer type. To learn more about the surgical options available for skin cancer treatment, visit our Surgical Oncology Page.
