Melanoma-specific care and unmet care needs were identified most commonly in the informational domain, followed by psychological, social and physical domains. Oncology practitioners should consider enhancing their supportive care interventions throughout the journey of patient with melanoma to reduce or address their unmet needs. The results of this mixed-methods systematic review warrant further research using robust study designs, melanoma-specific validated outcome measures and complete reporting of data in terms of disease stage.
