Introducing: The Spot On Podcast

Spot On Podcast by MSCAN

2 out of 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70.

In Australia there are over 1 million GP visits per year due to skin cancer.

And skin cancer accounts for 80% of newly diagnosed cancers.

We have the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world. So it’s time for Australia to get skin serious about our national cancer.

The Spot On Podcast is a free resource that helps answer all the questions you have about skin cancer, and gives you the knowledge and support about the things you didn’t even realise you needed yet!

In Season 1 of the Spot On podcast, we cover the fundamentals of skin cancer, having conversations with a number of leading clinicians and global experts on the treatment and diagnosis of melanoma and other skin cancers. We also cover some of the innovations and research about skin cancer that is taking place, which give us hope, as we look towards reducing the impact of skin cancer in Australia.

This podcast will give you a baseline understanding and knowledge about skin cancer, and help navigate you through that journey ahead through diagnosis and treatment

The Spot On Podcast is brought to you by the Melanoma & Skin Cancer Advocacy Network (MSCAN) - who are providing a new, innovative approach to tackle Australia’s national cancer.

MSCAN engages with Australia’s leading clinicians, researchers and advocates with the aim of increasing the knowledge of those affected by a diagnosis.
