One cannot help but feel scared and overwhelmed after receiving a melanoma diagnosis. The challenges that patients, caregivers, family members, and friends face can be daunting and can continue even after treatment has ended.

Beginning in 2010, AIM at Melanoma began partnering with nationally renowned cancer centers across the United States to provide patient-friendly information on new developments, innovative advances in melanoma treatment options, and emerging therapies.  These symposiums also address the many unmet physical, emotional, and psychological needs of those who are touched by this disease.
