MIA researchers to share new findings at world's largest cancer conference
Researchers from MIA will present their latest research findings to the world’s largest oncology conference in early June.

Whole genome sequencing finds unexpected genomic landscape in melanoma
By looking at the ‘dark matter’ of the genome, new research has found that genetic changes in acral and mucosal melanoma are completely different to mutations found in skin melanoma.

New research which more accurately predicts survival for melanoma patients
Using MIA's patient database, researchers have developed conditional survival estimates for Stage III melanoma patients to more accurately predict survival outcomes.

Global Melanoma Research Report - April
In this Global Research Report we showcase advances in medical oncology, reveal unexpected pathology in acral and skin melanoma, and uncover biomarkers and new gene targets for melanoma.

The people behind the Professors
Professor’s Long and Scolyer are well known in the academic community and beloved by their patients. But we wanted to get to know our new Conjoint Medical Directors a little more and hear their plans on making an impact on melanoma.

A day in the life of... Georgia Cairns CNC
Meet Georgia, our Clinica Nurse Consultant who provides vital care and education for patients throughout their treatment.

Follow-up scans after surgery for melanoma
A new research project will evaluate the benefits and economic implications of CT and PET/CT imaging in patients with asymptomatic Stage III melanoma.

Improving survival in uveal melanoma
Although survival rates for people with skin melanoma are increasing, these promises of hope are not being seen in uveal melanoma. Researchers are desperately trying to uncover new ways to treat this disease.

Challenges in melanoma clinical research
The last decade has seen a surge in therapeutic options for advanced melanoma patients, thanks to research. However, not every patient responds to treatment and researchers are taking on the challenge to find out why.

Global Melanoma Research Report
Our first Global Melanoma Research Report shares selected research from around the world and here at MIA that is making a difference to the lives of melanoma patients now and in the future.
