WHAT IS THE FORUM?

Join the Melanoma Research Alliance for an exciting two-day virtual event!

Throughout the event, you’ll hear from leading experts in the melanoma field and have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss, and network with other people who are going through their own melanoma journey. Each session will provide information, insight, and strategies to help navigate melanoma diagnosis, treatment, or beyond.

You’ll walk away with practical tips and approaches to get the most out of your care, while also learning about emerging research in areas such as biomarker testing, artificial intelligence, and the importance of clinical trials.
