Speaker at Melanoma Research Alliance patient forum

Melanoma Exchange Patient Forum

MRA’s Melanoma Exchange Patient Forum, held in-person in Washington DC and virtually on February 26, brought together melanoma patients, survivors, advocates, and their loved ones to provide lay-friendly, state-of-the-science education, promote collaboration, and provide networking opportunities across the melanoma community.

Throughout the event, participants heard from leading experts in the melanoma field and had the opportunity to ask questions, discuss, and network with other people who are going through their own melanoma journey. Each session provided information, insight, and strategies to help navigate melanoma diagnosis, treatment, or beyond.
