Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on primary melanoma diagnoses within a single institution
Background: Uncertainty remains regarding the overall impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and national lockdowns on cancer diagnoses. Dermato-oncology pathways continued without interruption via both face-to-face appointments and the adoption of tele-dermatology clinics. This project aimed to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on primary melanoma diagnoses within our institution.
