Diagnosing and treating children with melanoma and related atypical moles requires an experienced team with specialized training in this area. Since melanoma is the most common form of skin cancer in children, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh has developed a specific Pediatric Melanoma Center, where we approach each child or adolescent individually and coordinate our expertise to provide the best advice and care possible.  The different doctors in our center include:
Dr. Brittani Seynnaeve, M.D., M.S. –  Director, Pediatric Melanoma Program
Dr. John M. Kirkwood, M.D. – Co-Director, Pediatric Melanoma Program; Co-Leader, Hillman Melanoma Program
Dr. Alexander Joseph Davit III, M.D. – Director, Pediatric Hand Surgery Program and Pediatric Wound Care Clinic
Dr. Marcus Malek, M.D. – Director, Pediatric Surgical Oncology
Katherine Glovier, Specialty Care Coordinator, Pediatric Melanoma Center
