Melanoma: Let’s get under the skin of it is a campaign to encourage patients, loved ones, partners and carers to learn more about melanoma – whether recently diagnosed or simply hoping to learn more.

On this page we have provided links to some materials to help get under the skin of each melanoma diagnosis – the materials cover topics such as diagnosis and treatment, gene mutations and how they may affect treatment options, and a guide outlining tips and questions for conversations with healthcare professionals.

The goals of the Melanoma: Let’s get under the skin of it campaign are to help patients and their families:

• Understand more about melanoma, from staging to treatments
• Learn more about melanoma gene mutations, such as the BRAF mutation, and how these mutations affect treatment options
• Communicate clearly with melanoma experts, with clear questions to ask and points to remember during appointments – to ensure you have all the information you need about your personal diagnosis
