Melanoma March is around the corner

A round of applause for a well deserved win.

A message from our CEO, Carole Renouf

Piction, Brisbane, Bahturst and Port Macquarie march to end melanoma. 

Australian researchers have greater clarity on the best course of treatment for patients with advanced melanoma which has spread to the brain.

Melanoma treatment has come a long way in recent times, and the role that nurses play caring for melanoma patients has changed dramatically too.

MIA is sharing it's research with the global surgical oncology community this week at the Society of Surgical Oncology Annual Cancer Symposium.

It was a massive weekend of Melanoma Marches with six Marches in: Bendigo, Canberra, Manly, Newcastle, Bunbury and Adelaide.

Weekend two hit the ground marching with Melanoma Marches in Wollongong, Townsville, Mandurah and Western Sydney.

Melanoma Institute Australia's annual fundraising initiative is all systems go!

The reported proliferation of illegal commercial solariums is costing lives and requires urgent government intervention.

15-year-old melanoma survivor Toby Rayner will lead Mount Gambier’s march against melanoma Julie-Ann Sams knows all too well that melanoma doesn’t discriminate. 

Updated guidelines defining appropriate excision margins have been published thanks to research from MIA. 

Joanne and her trusty companion Frankie spend their days spreading a message of hope in hospitals, nursing homes, even prisons. It is a long way from her darkest hour facing palliative care. This is her story of hope.

Melanoma impacts more Australian teenagers and young adults than any other cancer. Dr James Wilmott, who has a young family of his own, has devoted his career to determining why these young Australians are susceptible to melanoma, and importantly, how to save them.

The extraordinary contribution of Australia’s most distinguished melanoma clinicians and researchers is being celebrated today.

Congratulations to Professor Richard Scolyer who was awarded the William O. Russell/Joanne Vandenberge Hill Award of Excellence in Pathology.
