The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2006 there will be 62,190 new cases of melanoma in the United States and about 7,910 people will die of this disease.
On November 7 at 5 p.m. EST, Edward Levine, M.D., professor of surgical oncology at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, and colleagues will perform a wide excision and sentinel lymph node mapping procedure for a melanoma during a live webcast. Surgical oncologists John Stewart, M.D. and Perry Shen, M.D. will moderate the webcast and assist with the surgery.The incidence of melanoma is increasing at a rate higher than any other cancer.
