Prof. Dixon publications
Prof. Anthony Dixon has published in the following peer reviewed journals. The overall theme of all research and publications is on "Complications and outcomes of skin cancer interventions". Note that no research undertaken by Prof. Dixon has been externally funded. There has never been industry, government or University funding of any of the research undertaken by Anthony Dixon. Funding for all research work has been from proceeds of ACCO workshops along with donations from the Dixon family.
We often hear cries such as, "Medical research needs to look further but we cannot. The Government needs to contribute more to research into . . ." In this context, the word "cannot" actually means 'choose not to without payment'.
