In this special episode of the EADV Podcast, host Dr. Tiago Matos, member of the EADV Advocacy Task Force, is joined by Prof. Myrto Trakatelli, Chair of the EADV Advocacy Task Force and EADV Board Member, for a candid conversation on advocacy in dermatology.
They reflect on the recent EADV advocacy event at the European Parliament focused on the health risks of sunbed use. From the interactions with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), to new legislation in Denmark, this episode highlights how persistent efforts and strategic communication are shifting the policy landscape.
Listeners will hear important contributions including a message from EADV President Prof. Branka Marinović, who explains why advocacy is a key part of the Academy’s mission; Astrid Nørlund-De Heer, a melanoma survivor and patient advocate, who shares her powerful story; Dr. Aleksandra Lesiak member of the EADV Advocacy Task Force speaks with MEP Dariusz Joński, who expresses his support for stronger sunbed regulations in Europe.
Tune in to hear why sunbed regulations matter, how dermatologists can influence policy, and why advocacy is a crucial pillar of public health in dermatology.
In this episode, host Prof. Jan Gutermuth explores with Prof. Christoffer Gebhardt the evolving landscape of melanoma prognosis.
Together they discuss current strategies for predicting outcomes in melanoma patients, including clinical staging, histopathological features, and emerging molecular and genetic biomarkers. The conversation highlights how personalised medicine and novel diagnostic tools are shaping prognosis accuracy and guiding treatment decisions.
Ideal for dermatologists, oncologists, and researchers, this #EADVPodcast episode underscores the importance of integrating science and patient care to improve long-term survival in melanoma.
