Melanoma is a rare but incredibly lethal form of cancer. Although melanoma accounts for only 2% of skin cancers, it accounts for 80% of skin cancer deaths. How does melanoma develop? Why is UV light so dangerous? What role does genetics play? In this episode we explore these questions and highlight some of the latest targeted therapies for melanoma. Plus, we look at whether artificial intelligence (AI) could help with melanoma diagnosis. Janine also excitedly shares another awesome pun – this time from a thesis title! Plus the Sister Doctor Square gals have been out about town traversing the red carpet. Why? With who? How many drafts of outfits were required? Listen in to hear all about it!
