Finally, some good
news about melanoma: Malignant melanoma is effectively preventable, successfully
curable in early stages, and even treatable in advanced stages. Its cumulative
5-yr survival in the U.S. approximates 90%, which sounds good at first sight. Nonetheless,
melanoma
is one of the most dangerous cancer types in humans known to date, and it may
affect individuals at all ages likewise, even children. So, melanoma matters to
everyone.
On this website, you'll
be given all the information needed to understand the currently adopted
causation concepts, the biological development of melanoma, its symptoms &
findings, its methods of diagnosis, and its available treatment approaches. In addition, the most recent research data on malignant melanoma are
given in detail, in order to address urgent questions as to the modalities
that may beneficially impact on the course of disease in far advanced or even
metastatic stages.
The Melanoma Research Project is an independent research institute based in
the United States and Germany. This website is available on the world wide
web since 1994, and it has substantially contributed to the furtherance of information on
malignant melanoma in all its facettes, as is part of the project's mission.
