- Sentinel lymph node biopsy for melanoma thickness >1 mm or concerning features
Radiation Therapy
Adjuvant radiotherapy 48 Gy in 6 Gy fractions for high-risk features (multiple positive nodes, extranodal extension)…
Targeted Therapy
For patients with specific molecular mutations, targeted agents offer precision treatment with fewer side effects. Available options include Dabrafenib 150 mg BD + Trametinib 2 mg daily for BRAF V600E+ melanoma.
Immunotherapy
Checkpoint inhibitors activate your immune system to fight cancer cells. Our team uses Nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks for advanced melanoma for appropriate patients.
Your treatment plan will be individualised based on your cancer stage, molecular profile, performance status, and personal preferences. Tumour boards at major centres review all cases to ensure comprehensive, evidence-based care.

Symptoms and Early Detection
Early detection of cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes. If you experience any of the following symptoms for more than two weeks, consult your doctor for evaluation.
- New mole or existing mole with changes (ABCDE: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Colour variation, Diameter >6 mm, Evolving/changing)
- Itching or bleeding of skin lesion
- Non-healing sore or ulcer on skin
- Pearly nodule or ulcerated lesion (basal cell carcinoma appearance)
- Scaly, tender lesion or spot (squamous cell carcinoma)
Screening Guidelines
Skin self-examination and dermoscopy: Annual clinical skin examination for high-risk individuals (fair skin, many moles, family history, prior skin cancer, sun exposure)
Many cancers are detected at earlier stages through regular screening in asymptomatic individuals at risk. Speak with your healthcare provider about recommended screening protocols based on your age, family history, and risk factors.
