Risk Calculators
The Melanoma Institute of Australia team has developed a series of online Risk Prediction Calculators to guide clinicians in prevention, early detection and optimum treatment of melanoma. These Risk Prediction Tools are intended to guide informed discussions about treatment between clinicians and their patients. The tools are underpinned by data published in peer-reviewed journals.
First Primary Melanoma Risk Prediction Tool
- Designed for use by clinicians, to guide discussions with patients about sun protection habits and skin surveillance for melanoma, for those who have not had a previous primary melanoma.
- Calculator generates a personal melanoma risk, which is an estimation of risk of developing a first primary invasive melanoma during the rest of the individual’s life.
Subsequent Primary Melanoma Risk Prediction Tool
- Designed for use by clinicians only in relation to patients with primary melanomas and not recurrences.
- Calculator generates an estimation of risk of developing another primary melanoma over the 10 years following the patient’s most recent melanoma.
