19 January 2023 | Allies & Partnerships, Events, News, Prevention, Science, Treatment
MRA’s Melanoma Exchange Patient Forum, held in-person in Washington DC and virtually on Wednesday, March 8, will bring 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, 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.
This year, sessions will address the evolving melanoma standard of care, clinical trials and emerging research, brain metastasis and LMD, survivorship, and the importance of wellness throughout the melanoma journey. Learn more about the Forum and register!
