Our Mission
Stanford Dermatology Clinics
Welcome to the Department of Dermatology at Stanford University. Our mission is to provide sustained leadership in scientific investigation, patient care, and in training leaders of our specialty in an environment that fosters creativity and synergy. Our faculty is committed to the highest level of basic and clinical research in dermatologic science. In particular, we are focused on translational medicine; bringing scientific results from the bench to the bedside. Our faculty practices medicine at a world-class hospital; and are internationally recognized for the medical and surgical dermatologic care they provide to their patients. Our vision is to train future leaders in dermatology, whether in scientific investigation or patient care. The competitiveness of our residency program speaks to the commitment our faculty has to our residents and medical students..
This May, the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) honored The Melanoma Research Foundation proudly presented the The MRF’s mission is to support medical research for finding effective treatments and a cure for melanoma; to educate patients and physicians about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of melanoma; and to act as an advocate for the melanoma community to raise the awareness of this disease and the need for a cure. Melanoma strikes people of all ages, all races and both sexes. The incidence of melanoma is increasing faster than any other cancer. Despite the magnitude of this disease, melanoma continues to receive only 10% of the funding given to the basic research of the individual research programs of breast cancer, leukemia/lymphoma, colon and prostate cancer. The Wings of Hope event will be attended by over 350 guests and will include sampling tables from a number of elite restaurants and beverage companies, as well as a silent auction. The Stanford Dermatology Department is proud to have this opportunity to recognize the work of Dr. Susan Swetter in pigmented lesion and melanoma clinical care and research.
Fall 2011 Stanford Cancer Institute Newsletter The Stanford Pigmented Lesion and Melanoma Program provides comprehensive care for patients with all stages of disease as well as those at increased risk of melanoma due to nevus phenotype and other factors. We are pleased to inform you of our clinical services for patients with advanced melanoma and available clinical trials at the Stanford Cancer Institute.
