	Bill believes his major contribution to the field of melanoma and Skin Oncology has been the promotion of early diagnosis through public education. “Early diagnosis is vital,” he says. Thirty years ago, people did not even know what melanomas looked like. Fifty per cent of people with symptoms sought medical intervention too late – when the tumour was 3–4 cm deep – and they died. By educating people about the disease and how it progresses, only 15 per cent of people are now coming late. “I am the only person in the world to have changed the incidence graph of a tumour through a public education campaign,” he says.

	He has also contributed to significant changes in the treatment of melanomas. One of the most important recent developments has been the sentinel node biopsy technique of selectively removing lymph nodes identified by lymphatic mapping. This technique is used to detect, at the earliest possible time, the presence of tumour cells in these nodes – that is, before the nodes are large enough to be evident by clinical examination. Early detection is one of the most important ways to prevent further spread of the melanoma.		He has also contributed to significant changes in the treatment of melanomas.
