Cutaneous Melanoma Care in Low-Resource Settings: Surgical Disparities in Global Reconstructive Oncology

The management of ALM in LMICs embodies a nexus of oncological urgency and surgical inequity.

By situating ALM within broader health system deficiencies, this review advocates for equity-driven policy and infrastructure initiatives to improve global melanoma outcomes-particularly in underserved populations.
