Description
Abdulrahman Alqerafi, Naif Ahmed Alshehri, and Khalid Alghamdi survey skin cancer skills among Saudi primary care doctors in a study from 2026. Family doctors are the first to see most suspicious skin spots. Their readiness to spot, prevent, and refer skin cancer in Saudi Arabia was little known.
Doctors nationwide answered an anonymous online questionnaire. Knowledge was scored on twenty-seven items, with sixty percent as the pass line. Attitudes and daily practice got their own scores, and barriers were listed too. The title gives the core finding: knowledge and attitudes were good, yet practice lagged behind. Training that turns knowing into doing is the clear next step for clinics.
