title: Melanoma reporting in Missouri.
abstract: Thorough reporting of the diagnosis and treatment of various cancers in underserved and rural communities is perhaps one of the greatest challenges to the Missouri physician. We introduce and discuss the use of a new reporting mechanism for registering melanoma cases with the Missouri Cancer Registry in an effort to assess trends in melanoma incidence, improve standards of care, and develop strategic plans for melanoma prevention and screening in the future.
