Did you know having many moles (naevi) is the strongest phenotypic risk factor for #melanoma? Yet, a recent systematic review led by #UQCHSR's Dr @DilkiJayasinghe found major inconsistencies in how naevi are counted across studies! https://t.co/fGzAK2NoI0

A systematic review led by #UQ's Dr Dilki Jayasinghe examines how researchers count & report moles (nevi) on the skin - and highlights the need for an easily accessible and practical protocol for identifying, counting & reporting moles. Read more below 👇👇

Given our reputation as the skin cancer capital of the world, why isn’t there a national screening program? It turns out the question of whether to screen everyone is complex. TRI-based Professor @hpsoyer from @UQ_News explains why in @ConversationEDU. https://t.co/vasHJETgcZ

Blanket screening Australians for skin cancer might lead to more diagnoses but not necessarily save more lives or be cost-effective.
