Your Care at Winship
The Melanoma Clinic at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University offers patients a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to treatment.
Your Winship care team draws on Emory's vast resources in dermatology, surgical oncology, and medical oncology to provide the newest, most effective practices and treatments for melanoma. Our Melanoma Program is a coordinated, cohesive program with a dedicated treatment plan established for each patient.
As specialists, our teams develop groundbreaking surgeries and treatments that produce better outcomes and are adopted by other leading cancer centers. Our care team treats patients with melanoma of the skin as well as rarer forms of melanoma such as mucosal and ocular melanoma. We also treat non-melanoma malignancies such as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma and other skin cancers.
The benefits of our multidisciplinary and highly experienced teams include:
- Access to doctors and surgeons who rank among the top cancer experts in the world.
- Access to the Pigmented Lesions Clinic for high risk cases.
- Weekly review of patient cases by the full team of experts.
- Coordinated scheduling for appointments among various specialties.
- Access to our melanoma coordinator to assist you through out the treatment process.
- Access to support groups and education classes for you and your caregivers.
- Availability of new treatment options within our clinical trials program.

Diagnosing Your Melanoma
A suspicious lesion on the skin may prompt a doctor to perform the following surgical procedures to determine if a patient has melanoma.
Skin biopsy: a small sample of an abnormal lesion is examined under a microscope. Skin biopsies can be performed in various ways:
- Shave biopsy: the top layers of the skin are removed when the risk of melanoma is very low.
- Punch biopsy: a doctor uses a small cookie-cutter shaped tool to remove several layers of the skin.
- Excisional biopsy: the entire tumor is removed and examined by a pathologist.
Additional tests including imaging and scans may be used to determine whether the cancer has spread or metastasized.
The Emory Healthcare dermatology clinic offers a variety of screening and diagnostic tests.

Your Treatment Options
Treatment options for melanoma will depend on a number of factors including the patient’s overall health, the thickness of the tumor and whether the disease has spread.
Surgery is the first line of treatment if melanoma has not spread throughout the body. For some patients, removing the tumor will offer a cure. Patients with advanced disease may require additional surgery, radiation therapy or immunotherapy following surgery.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beans to kill the cancer.
Immunotherapy is a type of biological therapy delivered through medication that stimulates or suppresses the immune system to fight cancer.
Certain skin cancers of the lower extremities may require removal of the local lymph nodes. Here at Winship, our doctors have pioneered a groin dissection technique for the removal of lymph nodes that improves recovery and lowers the risk of infection.
Targeted therapies: Winship's most promising research in treating melanoma is in personalized medicine and targeted therapies. In personalized medicine, researchers identify unique characteristics of tumors that make them vulnerable to known drugs so therapy can be tailored to an individual's cancer. In targeted therapies, investigators look for new drugs that more selectively target cancer cells with fewer side effects.
Chemotherapy may be used to treat advanced melanoma. It is not often used during initial treatment because of the availability of immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
Clinical Trials
One of your best treatment options may be participation in a clinical trial. Our patients have access to some of the most advanced cancer treatments and clinical trials for melanoma and cutaneous malignancies offered anywhere. Consider talking with your doctor about participating in a clinical trial at Winship.
Supportive Oncology Care
In addition to delivering the highest quality medical care, we recognize the importance of the psychological and emotional aspects of living with a cancer diagnosis and of dealing with treatment. Our supportive oncology team addresses these issues in a timely manner with additional support from our melanoma coordinator and our team of counselors, dietitians and social service professionals.
