XXVI IMI National Congress - 1st virtual edition 7-9 November 2020

摘要

In recent years, the scenario of strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma and non-melanoma neoplastic skin diseases has profoundly changed. An even greater integration of different clinical and scientific skills is needed, as well as the harmonious sharing of practical experiences within the context of various disciplinary sectors. Over the years it has been shown that melanoma acts as a real “trailblazer” in many aspects related to the systematization and management of oncological diseases. The Italian Melanoma Intergroup (IMI) has been a group operating in a totally multidisciplinary manner since its beginning. Firstly, it developed and supported an integrated and transversal strategy in the professional training, research and management of melanoma, and subsequently also of non-melanoma skin cancers requiring more complex management such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and Merkel cell carcinoma. IMI represents a model of interrelatedness and cooperation among diverse scientific activities and focuses on professional training in order to develop harmonious integration and synergy among the various disciplines throughout the country.
