Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The multidisciplinary management of cutaneous melanoma is advancing rapidly. Surgeons remain a key entry point for melanoma patients into specialist care and their up-to-date knowledge is vital for patient outcomes. METHODS: A narrative review was performed to provide an update for the surgeon working outside of a high-volume melanoma centre. RESULTS: This review covers recent developments in the management of both localised and metastatic cutaneous melanoma and how immunotherapy is changing the melanoma landscape. CONCLUSION: This review offers a review of the literature and perspectives on potential future developments in cutaneous melanoma management from the Melanoma Institute of Australia.
