Background: Timely treatment for melanoma may affect survival, and characterizing the predictors of delay may inform intervention strategies.
Objective: To determine characteristics associated with the interval between diagnosis and surgery in melanoma.
Methods: The National Cancer Database was used to examine factors associated with the interval between diagnosis and surgery among 213 146 patients with stage I, II, or III cutaneous melanoma.
Background: Teledermatology is comparable to face-to-face visits in providing accurate diagnoses and effective treatments. However, there are limited data regarding patient satisfaction with teledermatology models that more directly convey provider recommendations to patients.
Objective: To assess patient satisfaction with the teledermatology service at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center (AVAMC).
