Chris was diagnosed with melanoma at just 19. When I met Chris and his family, he told me early detection and treatment was the key to fighting it. The new Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre is all about helping more Australians detect cancer early.

Such an exciting week for melanoma research & clinical care - this building will provide inspiration to patients, scientists and clinicians alike. The future of cancer care is bright!
We were thrilled to officially open the Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre this morning with Prime Minister @AlboMP and Premier @JacintaAllanMP. The $152.4 million facility will deliver lifesaving clinical trials, research and care under one roof - a new era in cancer care.

Love those wings Nairn - good luck!!
Mordialloc father Nairn Miller will this Sunday spread his wings in the fight against melanoma, ‘flying’ into the Yarra in the Birdman Rally while raising money for Alfred cancer services. It's not too late to get behind him. Visit: https://t.co/3tZBGO9M57 Fly well Nairn!

We want to make sure the right person gets the right skin check at the right time. Thanks to @Cancer_Research & @nhmrc our team @MelanomaACEMID will standardize melanoma diagnosis and target screening to those who will benefit most. @Monash_SPHPM @UQDRC @CTSR_USyd @Aim4HealthLab
Our very own Prof Victoria Mar is leading a cohort study across 15 hospitals and three universities to leverage technology to overhaul the way #melanomas are detected in high-risk Australians. Full story in The Age: https://t.co/peV4ti1aFe

Morgan Mansell was an extraordinarily brave young woman who died from melanoma aged just 25. She was a passionate advocate & today on her birthday we are encouraging people to check their skin & know what to look out for - https://t.co/bWuPYuq27Y

No one knows your skin better than you. Today is Check for Spots Day, and we’re urging you to check your skin and be all over melanoma. More: https://t.co/R2xsdU6zXL

Our new SiroSkin trial is now open; the 1st site is at @AlfredHealth in Melbourne. This innovative trial investigates if a topical cream can reduce the number of facial skin cancers in solid organ transplant recipients. More Australian sites to open soon. https://t.co/HHcsa6L5Ak

Nodular #melanoma (NM) is a challenge to diagnose early due to its rapid growth. Therefore, we assessed the genetic risk of nodular melanoma using a candidate gene approach https://t.co/ExehP6BrYI

In this study we performed a rare-variant allele (RVA) analysis of whole-exome sequencing in patients with nodular melanoma (NM) and non-NM for a set of 50

Pleased to highlight our latest study into the genetics of Nodular Melanoma. Using exome seq of germline DNA from 325 melanoma patients, we identified genes with rare variant alleles in the Hedgehog pathway that may contribute to NM risk. https://t.co/JNouGnOH8I

Can synthetic data produced by latent diffusion models improve medical AI? We studied this question using skin disease classifiers in our new preprint led by @luke_sagers @JamesADiao @lukemelas. Takeaways: • Synthetic images can enhance model performance in data-limited

Work on the $152.4 million Paula Fox Melanoma & Cancer Centre has now reached its tallest point at level seven. This week, we were joined by major donor Paula Fox and her son Andrew, along with @MaryAnneThomas and our @minderoo and @MonashUni partners to mark the achievement.
