If you are at high risk for developing skin cancer due to an organ transplant or suppressed immune system, you need an advanced level of care. Our expert team catches skin cancers in the early stages, when they are easily treated. We believe in highly personalized care that involves carefully monitoring patients with early biopsies and frequent appointments. Our robust research program offers you access to clinical trials for melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.
We believe in treating the whole person, not just a skin lesion. We collaborate with many other Stanford Health Care programs and clinics to deliver the most comprehensive skin cancer care available to people at high risk.

We want to make your treatment as effective as possible. If you are a transplant candidate, contact us before your transplant surgery so we can evaluate your post-transplant risk level for skin cancer and prepare a treatment plan in coordination with your transplant team. Please ask us any questions you have — we want to make you comfortable and prepared.
We welcome referrals from other clinics and health care providers and want to assure you that we'll provide your patient with the same level of personal care you give them.
