Melanoma is increasing in incidence and is often not detected in time for curative excision, despite being clearly visible on the skin surface. More than 80% of the US population sees an outpatient medical provider annually1; however, primary care providers (PCPs) generally do not examine areas of skin where melanomas arise.2 This study measures the role of gender in examination and counseling for melanoma in primary care.
