Br J Dermatol. 2024 Feb 16;190(3):431-432. doi: 10.1093/bjd/ljad387.

Abstract

The Skin Investigation Network of Canada (SkIN Canada) completed a national priority-setting initiative to identify the top 10 knowledge uncertainties for SCC based on the James Lind Alliance principles. Overall, 64 patients, clinicians and researchers provided input in two survey rounds and one workshop. The top 10 list of research priorities will help the skin research community, funders and policymakers to address key knowledge uncertainties for the benefit of patients with SCC.
