Skin Cancer Clinical Services
The Stanford Melanoma Program has a strong multidisciplinary focus involving dermatology, medical and surgical oncology, dermatopathology, nuclear medicine, and radiation oncology. Specialists have great expertise in prevention, early detection, and management of localized and metastatic melanoma. Our consultative and therapy-directed practice deals with all stages of melanoma, from diagnosis of the early lesions to therapy for late-stage disease.
Patients with thin cutaneous melanoma (< 2mm depth) and individuals with clinical atypical nevi (moles) are managed in the Pigmented Lesion and Cutaneous Melanoma Clinic (PLCMC). This clinic was developed to follow patients diagnosed with melanoma and those at increased risk of melanoma based on mole pattern and family history.
Stanford Dermatology and the Stanford Skin Care Center offer Mohs Micrographic Surgery, a highly effective treatment technique for some of the most common types of skin cancer. The procedure, which is micrographically controlled, offers a cure rate of up to 99% for certain tumors.
