Abstract

Background As melanoma incidence in Australia continues to rise, targeting high-risk individuals for early detection is of paramount importance. Objectives We aimed to design a population-specific risk assessment tool to improve on the use of intuition alone for assignment of surveillance strategies for high-risk individuals and help communicate risk more accurately and effectively to patients.
