Patient Reference Guide

The Patient Reference Guide was created to empower and prepare newly diagnosed and restaged melanoma patients to become their own advocates. It is a resource tool to help people with melanoma, caregivers and their families throughout their cancer journey. It includes a list of cancer resources in the United States, as well as other resources that may be of assistance.
