Melanoma is a serious form of cancer that arises when the pigment-producing cells in the skin (melanocytes) may display as a mole or lesion that grows, changes shape, or colour.
We have a professional membership for clinicians, scientists and nurses in the field of melanoma. We provide key educational resources, the melanoma TrialFinder and research grants, in addition to organising two multidisciplinary meetings each year.
As experts in melanoma, we provide information, guidance and support for patients, carers and healthcare professionals. We have built a community of melanoma specialists who underpin our commitment to melanoma education and research.
We have been asked to create a list of centres that offer various regional therapies across the UK. Please do get in touch with info@melanomafocus.org should any of this information need updating.
In addition, at the May 2021 professional educational meeting, Mr Howard Peach chaired an MDT session on locally advanced disease where isolated limb infusion/perfusion, electrochemotherapy and T-VEC treatments were discussed. We received numerous requests to display the T-VEC element wider for training purposes and Dr Sophie Papa kindly provided us permission to share this section of the video (and we include the introduction from Mr Howard Peach).
Watch the training video on T-VEC explained, presented by Dr Sophia Papa, Honorary Consultant Medical oncologist:
We also have additional patient resources including a video explaining T-VEC by science communicator, Doctor Elaine Vickers.
