Summary

This study looks at whether teaching stem cell transplant survivors and their primary care doctors about skin cancer screening can lead to earlier detection. Participants receive educational materials and some doctors get a dermatoscope (a magnifying lens). The goal is to see if these tools help people notice suspicious moles sooner and get them checked faster. 840 survivors are taking part.
