Excited to share a blog I wrote for MSCAN about my recent research! 📝 Understanding personal melanoma risk could transform prevention & early detection—but how do we communicate it effectively?@igmgroup.bsky.social Read more here: 🔗 mscan.org.au/melanoma-per... #genechat

Melanoma personal risk

If you could combine all your risk factors - your genetics, lifestyle, and family history - into a single score that tells you your risk of melanoma, would you want to know?
