Abstract
According to Brazilian Law 12.732/12 ("60-day law"), cancer patients have 60 days after diagnosis for beginning treatment at the Unified Health System (SUS). The study aimed to evaluate the achievement and effectiveness of the '60-day law' for melanoma patients in a SUS cancer reference unit. A retrospective study analysed 58 medical charts from patients with the initial diagnosis performed before and after the "60-day law". The Law does not change the time interval between diagnosis and the beginning of treatment, and after the Law, patients presented a worse overall survival (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the '60-day law' was not effective.
