City of Hope trial finds survivor-doctor outreach nearly triples skin cancer screening after bone marrow transplant

• City of Hope reported results from a randomized TEACH trial showing a low-intensity education program increased skin cancer screening in bone marrow transplant survivors.
• Findings were published Aug. 6, 2026, in JNCCN; no future conference presentation was disclosed.
• Participants receiving mailed guidance and follow-up texts completed more self-checks; annual clinician skin exams also rose.
• Adding outreach to primary care physicians drove the biggest clinical uptake, lifting in-office skin checks versus patient-only education.
• City of Hope plans to fold the approach into follow-up care, supporting scalable, technology-enabled survivorship models as patients shift to primary care.
