Dr. Doug McKechnie ist ein NHS-Hausarzt, der in London arbeitet. Er arbeitet klinisch in Vollzeit und ist außerdem stellvertretender Leiter des Moduls für klinische und berufliche Praxis an der University College London Medical School.

He has also had a wide variety of roles in medical education and research, having published over 30 peer-reviewed articles in journals on a variety of topics, from ADHD and transgender care to frailty and inflammation.

Melanom-Hautkrebs

Informationsblatt

Melanoma (also called malignant melanoma) is the most serious type of skin cancer. It affects young adults as well as older people. It can be caused by too much sun exposure, but sometimes even people who haven't had much sun get melanoma too. The treatment for melanoma is mainly surgical but other treatments, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are increasingly used, especially if it is not possible to remove all the melanoma or if the melanoma is diagnosed at a relatively late stage.
