Simple note could save lives by getting High-Risk family members to the doctor
NCT ID NCT02917473
Summary
This study tested if giving a written advice sheet to melanoma patients, to pass to their close family members, would encourage more family members to get a skin check from a doctor. Family members of melanoma patients have a higher risk of getting it themselves, so early detection is key. Researchers compared centers that gave the written sheet plus usual advice against centers that gave only the usual verbal advice to see which led to more family members getting checked.
