The Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center brings together experts in the full range of medical and surgical specialties to provide leading-edge diagnosis and treatment for patients with basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, melanomas, and other skin cancers.

From early-stage detection and treatment to conventional and experimental surgical, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment for advanced disease -- including novel therapies developed right here in the laboratories and clinics at Duke -- our team of highly experienced physicians and surgeons can provide an array of treatment options available nowhere else.

In particular, the Melanoma Program at the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center is one of the most comprehensive melanoma treatment and research programs in the world.

Duke cancer specialists are developing innovative technologies to detect melanoma at its earliest and most curable stage, while investigators are working in the laboratory to better understand the disease. Their research has led to exciting new therapies.
