80048064 - Update on Melanoma and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer

Thursday, May 16, 2019, 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM EST, The Hotel at Arundel Preserve


In the United States, the incidence of skin cancer is greater than that of all other cancers combined. Early diagnosis of melanoma and other aggressive skin cancers can be lifesaving. Skin cancer is a substantial public health concern and is being increasingly diagnosed and managed by primary care physicians. This activity aims to update physicians with new information on diagnosis and treatment of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. This activity will consist of a buffet dinner followed by a series of brief lectures and case presentations.
