A study conducted by researchers at the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin found that many patients who have successfully undergone surgery for early-stage melanoma still live in fear of recurrence. The study interviewed 51 patients who had been treated for stage 0 to stage IIA melanoma and found that anxiety surrounding follow-up appointments, concerns about the intensity of melanoma surveillance, lifestyle changes related to sun exposure, and thoughts about life and death were common themes among the participants. The study suggests that dermatologists could play a role in providing reassurance and support to patients to mitigate the psychological consequences of a melanoma diagnosis.
