Background

Unfortunately, melanoma is becoming increasingly common. In spite of advances in surgical techniques and early detection, melanoma remains a significant health problem.With the development of molecular diagnoses and newer treatments the categorization of melanoma is undergoing rapid change. Consequently, there is a critical need to be able to track the impact of these new molecular diagnoses and treatment approaches in the outcome of patients with melanoma.

Goal 

This project seeks to develop a global network of cancer centres involved in the treatment of melanoma and specifically to procure a global database.

 

 

Objectives

• To determine patient outcome

• Link clinical data with pathological and molecular subtype

• Evaluate results of novel local and systemic treatments
