As we finally enjoy some sun this Summer, it’s the perfect time to talk about something really important: melanoma awareness. Earlier in the Summer we had the privilege of supporting ITN Business and Melanoma Focus to develop a new podcast series called Living with Melanoma. The series features insightful interviews with patients, healthcare professionals, and others in the melanoma community, delving into personal stories, practical advice, and busting some of the myths surrounding what is a serious, but highly preventable, form of cancer. We’re particularly pleased that Yam Sumbwanyambe, MSD employee and seasoned podcast host, was able to guest host one of the episodes discussing the important topic of melanoma and skin tone. Melanoma is often associated with lighter skin tones, however people of all colours can be affected by melanoma and when it develops in people of colour it is more likely to be picked up late, leading to poorer outcomes. The full series is available here and can also be downloaded wherever you get your podcasts. Please have a listen and learn why sun safety, early diagnosis, and community awareness are so important to improving melanoma care for all
