 This study examined the effectiveness of two public skin cancer campaigns in Queensland, Australia. It found that the number of melanomas and potentially malignant lesions, Hutchinson's melanotic freckles and dysplastic nevi, being removed increased during the campaigns compared to non-campaign periods. However, the rate of melanoma thickness reduction did not change significantly. Additionally, doctors reported feeling less pressure from patients to remove lesions during the campaigns, but this could lead to unnecessary costs due to increased excision of benign lesions.
