Please vote for the ACEMID team in the Shaping Australia Awards!
We are part of the ACEMID team with the 3D imaging/Vectra melanoma trial

05/11/2025

We are still looking for more participants from the Western NSW area. Anyone over 18 and able to undress/stand unaided for 5 mins are able to participate.

We are proud to be able to offer access to the ACEMID Melanoma Cohort study in conjunction with Cancer Care Western, ACRF and the University of Sydney. We have seen over 500 people for this study and need a few more volunteers!!!

This study uses 3D total body photography to monitor skin spots
and moles for the early detection of melanoma. It is open to anyone over 18, who can undress and stand unaided for 10 minutes. Ideally we are after more people who haven't had any skin cancers in the past.
The trial requires a commitment to attendance in Orange, as it runs over 2-3 years and will involve at least 3 visits. It requires approximately 60-90 minutes of your time at each visit.

Please share widely and contact the rooms on 02 6398 7733 or at reception@pinnacledermatology.com.au if you are interested.

ACEMID is a research study and should not be used to replace your
usual medical care or skin checks. If you have any concerns about
your skin, please speak with your usual medical practitioner.
