ABCDE and F Guide to detect skin cancer and melanoma
Dr Elaine Vickers, THANK YOU SO MUCH..! I was searching for a better video particularly for melanoma.
Small rate??90 percent are left with numbness for life Why do doctors minimize side effects 😥😥
Hell no will i ever have this done
Thank you for the great explanation! Very informative
Thank you for this amazing video.
Well communicated.
The mucous membrane is new to me.
The new therapies offer new hope and, show us the value the discovery and it's impact in saving lives.
I found targeting telomerase was an interesting paper in nature on oncogenes for crisis intervention in 2020.
52% survival rate is impressive.
I had read papers when CTLA-4 was a target, so it's nice to see a therapy and, outcome.
This was useful, thank you.
EXCELLENT video on understanding a diagnosis of melanoma.
Thank you
