Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Estevao Ferreira Leite"
- Estevao Ferreira Leite's research primarily focuses on understanding the delayed diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma within the Brazilian public health system (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS), where a significant portion of the population relies on general practitioners for such diagnoses.
- His study identifies various sociodemographic factors, awareness of melanoma symptoms, and delays in seeking medical care that contribute to the prolonged diagnosis of melanoma patients in Brazil.
- In addition to his original research article published, a correction was made to emphasize the importance of addressing these factors to improve timely diagnosis and treatment of melanoma in the public health context.
