Melanoma Treatment: A Patient Video Guide

Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center has developed a four-part video series, Melanoma Treatment: A Patient Video Guide, in order to increase awareness of treatment options for all stages of melanoma so patients are knowledgeable and empowered during their cancer journey.

In the first of this series, melanoma patients discuss coping skills that helped them, their caregivers and loved ones through their cancer journey.

The second video features the evaluation process for determining treatment options for melanoma and the different treatment options available to early stage melanoma patients.

Video three addresses post-surgery care.

The final video of this  series addresses treatment options for metastatic melanoma including standard treatments and investigational (clinical trial) treatments like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, isolated limb perfusion and molecular targeted therapy.

This video series has been made possible by the Roger A. Gordon Melanoma Research Fund at Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center. The fund was established by Roger’s family after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma.
