Professor June Robinson
Dr. June Robinson, Professor of Clinical Dermatology, is a member of the faculty of the Department of Dermatology at Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago USA and is the editor of the Archives of Dermatology.
Dr. Robinson has a long-standing interest in skin cancer prevention, detection, and treatment. She served as a panel member of the NIH Consensus Development Conference, Diagnosis and Treatment of Early Melanoma in January 1992 that clarified the definition of early melanoma and recommended narrower margins for the surgical removal of early melanoma. From 1996-1998, she represented the American Academy of Dermatology as a co-principal investigator in the National Skin Cancer Prevention Education Program in the cooperative agreement with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2000, she served as a panel member of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, World Health Organization that considered the use of sunscreens.
Her body of work in primary prevention of skin cancer began by defining the sun protection attained by those who had a skin cancer. Then, she explored the sun protection used by family members and partners, who assisted the patient with surgical care after resection of skin cancer. She examined national trends in sun protection attitudes and behaviours of the US population during the decade from 1986-1996. An important finding of this work is that enabling factors enhancing the use of sun protection are: a personal history of skin cancer or someone in the household with a history of skin cancer, self-reported sun sensitivity, and history of sunburn. She is the author of the many publications including Surgery of the Skin.
