Early diagnosis of skin melanoma is one of the most reliable ways to improve the prognosis for the life of patients with this tumor. Organization of medical care for patients with a high risk of developing melanoma, together with the use of non-invasive diagnostic methods and teaching the patient the principles of prevention and early diagnosis of skin malignancies should improve the survival rates of patients with melanoma. The article discusses the experience of implementing the Organizational model of medical care for patients with skin neoplasms in Moscow, as well as the key rules for managing patients at risk of developing skin melanoma with special emphasis on recommendations to patients for regular self-examination of the skin, lifestyle correction and the use of photoprotective agents.
