Expert Melanoma Care

Hoag Melanoma/Advanced Skin Cancer Program
This skilled team can offer second opinions, surgical consultation through both a surgical oncologist and plastic surgeon, clinical nurse navigation, access to leading clinical trials, and support and resources for the patient and their families.
Melanoma Clinical Nurse Navigator
A unique asset to a skin cancer program, Hoag offers dedicated clinical nurse navigators that help the patient and their families through diagnosis and treatment to survivorship.
Our Comprehensive, Evidence-Based Program
The Hoag Melanoma/Advanced Skin Cancer Program was developed to focus on the patient, and the multiple aspects of care he/she may need throughout this journey. Hoag is proud to offer one of the most complete and comprehensive programs in Orange County.
The Hoag Program is a combined program between the Cancer Center and community dermatologists. The key to melanoma is early diagnosis and early intervention—this is because the more extensive the melanoma is, the more serious the problem is and the more significant the treatment can be.
Patient-Centered Care
Hoag Family Cancer Institute offers comprehensive support services centered around the patient and their families. From support groups to one-on-one counseling, to educational and mind, body spirit workshops, Hoag Oncology Support Services supports the whole person, and can link you to numerous resources for other types of support.
