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.

About us

Thank you to the Alan Boswell Charitable Trust

February 2021

The Alan Boswell Charitable Trust made a significant donation to funding the “Melanoma TrialFinder” our clinical trials portal. Designed on two levels, one for clinicians and a lay version for patients, it provides information on all UK melanoma clinical trials. The resource which was launched in May 2022, had been delayed due to Covid. Now up and running, it is already helping to increase the understanding and potentially the participation into clinical trials. The Alan Boswell Charitable Trust donation has helped us provide knowledge of additional treatment options for patients.
