Our mission
Dedicated to advocacy, education, and research
We provide comprehensive education and advocacy for non-melanoma skin cancer, guiding patients, caregivers, and clinicians through every stage of the journey—from diagnosis to treatment and beyond.
Our partners
Our international consortium of physician members, experts in the study of non-melanoma skin cancer and patient care, have clinical and research practices that are referral centers for patients with advanced diseases.
SCOUT consortium teams are multidisciplinary, with representatives from dermatology, surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, translational research, and epidemiology. This structure allows SCOUT clients to benefit from the expertise of all specialists involved in the care of skin cancer patients during the study design phase, to capitalize on SCOUT’s broad patient referral base to more rapidly meet enrollment goals during the execution phase, and help interpret findings and data during the analysis phase.
