Appreciation note of Dr Richard Scolyer


The world owes much to Richard Scolyer, a world expert on melanoma who contributed enormously to our understanding of this skin cancer. The WHO Classification of Tumours forms the basis for cancer diagnosis worldwide, and his contributions to this were truly international. His reaction to his brain tumour diagnosis was typical: he saw it as a major challenge and an opportunity to advance the science. That he did so publicly ensured that his response to his illness had the greatest impact. In doing so he inspired many who suffer from cancer, many cancer researchers and people around the world.

Richard was a wonderful mentor, a gifted speaker, and a tireless researcher. He worked brilliantly with other experts to revolutionise the way in which skin cancers are now diagnosed and treated. His wise council will be greatly missed, but his work lives on in the lives of those he touched through work, friendship, and inspiration.
