Advanced melanoma patients in Cork and Kerry to have access to new therapies

Advanced melanoma patients in Cork and Kerry can access ground-breaking therapies not available on the open market thanks largely to the work of clinicians who set up the first dedicated melanoma multidisciplinary team (MDT) in the country, writes Catherine Shanahan

The South West Melanoma MDT, consisting of dermatologists, plastic surgeons, surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, radiotherapists, research nurses, celebrates its 10 anniversary this year.
