Melanoma

Research

Mayo Clinic is among the country's top cancer-research institutions. More information about melanoma research is available on Mayo's research Web site.

Mayo Clinic researchers have established a bank of information about melanoma to further ongoing research. In the last several years more than 170 melanoma patients have volunteered to provide blood or tissue, and more than 590 patients have provided in-depth information about their cases and risk factors. This data bank of information will continue to grow and provide answers to questions about the risk factors and the best treatment options for melanoma skin cancer.
