This should be your first stop as you try to navigate the dizzying maze of available clinical trials for melanoma. Here you will find lots of useful information to help you understand the clinical trial system, decide what trial may be best for you and find a trial at a nearby institution. After digesting the introductory matierial found on the home page, be sure to visit their special Melanoma News and Resources page.

Another excellent guide written from a patient's point of view is Understanding the Clinical Trial System from Steve Dunn at CancerGuide

Dr. Andrew Kneier is the patient educator and clinical psychologist at UCSF Melanoma Center and is available for telephone consultations.
