Melanoma |

Melanoma skin cancer is all too common in the Hampton Roads region. Indeed, our Surgical Oncology Division has become a major referral center for southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Every attempt is made to minimize the cosmetic deformity associated with melanoma surgery, while adhering to strict oncologic principles to maximize the chance for cure. Dr. Perry pioneered the use of sentinel node biopsy for melanoma in the region, and our surgeons have participated in a number of protocol studies. Current studies are examining the identification of unique biomarkers for patients with melanoma. Doctors Perry and Feliberti also actively participate in the Commission on Cancer Melanoma Disease Site Team.
