Our members and patient representatives have come together to produce our new Melanoma Stages and Treatment – Patient Guide
The melanoma stages and treatment – patient guide (MPG) reflects the latest advances in melanoma medicine such as staging, surgical procedures, adjuvant therapy, updates and treatments. Our newly developed resources will help you navigate the options that may be available to you as well as providing information on health and wellbeing and living with melanoma.
