Funded Activity Summary

Australia has the highest incidence of melanoma in the world. Early detection of melanoma is critical in reducing the death rate from melanoma. Currently the diagnostic accuracy of melanoma in general practice is poor with around 30 benign lesions being cut out for every one melanoma. This severely impacts on the total health budget, with a cost of $46M per annum in general practice. An improved diagnostic method for detecting melanoma of the skin will allow earlier detection of melanoma and decrease the rate of needless excision biopsies.
