The Australasian College of Skin Cancer Medicine proudly held our Annual Conference in August 2009. 2009 theme was "Focus on melanoma". We assembled the brightest experts from throughout the world on melanoma. Australia had never seen such an assembly of expertise in all areas of melanoma from diagnosis through surgery to ongoing care. This event was a huge success which will ensure our future conferences will also be of the highest standard.
