    Could It Be Melanoma?

    This form of skin cancer can masquerade as a common mole or other skin change. Take our quiz to find out if you should see a dermatologist about a suspicious spot.

    Melanoma is one of the three major forms of skin cancer. It’s less common than the other two, which are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. However, melanoma is more likely than other skin cancers to spread throughout the body, which makes it the most serious form.

    Melanoma begins in melanocytes, which are cells found in the deep layers of your skin. Melanocytes produce a pigment called melanin that gives skin its color. When you are exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays or any other source of UV (such as a tanning bed), melanocytes step up production of melanin, which protects the skin and causes it to darken. However, exposure to UV rays can damage the DNA of melanocytes and make them grow uncontrollably, which can cause melanoma.

    You can reduce your risk for melanoma by taking a few simple steps:

    • Limit your sun exposure, especially at midday, when UV rays are strongest.
    • Wear protective clothing such as hats, long-sleeved shirts, and pants when you go outdoors during daylight. Apply sunscreen with a sun-protection factor (SPF) number of at least 30, preferably higher, to exposed skin.
    • Don’t use tanning beds or sun lamps (other than light-therapy devices for seasonal affective disorder). If you want to deepen your skin tone, use artificial tanning products.

    There were times when I felt Massive Bio was the only champion I had working toward my acceptance into the clinical trial!

    Cancer is a word that everyone cringes at. You need services like Massive Bio to keep hope.

    Cancer is a word that everyone cringes at. You need services like Massive Bio to keep hope and possible alternatives when doors seem to close. The amount of education is phenomenal, and the staff was very compassionate. I would recommend the services for those seeking that alternative to “Standardized treatment”, not everyone can handle them.

    I've been working hard to find a clinical trial that I may fit into. It has not been easy

    With my recent progession on Lorlatinib, I've been working hard to find a clinical trial that I may fit into. It has not been easy. I am so lucky that recently, I talked to a company that helps people like me. If you register, they will connect you with a clinical trial-even if you don't have progression.

    The initial report and clinical trial recommendations was excellent.

    So far, my experience with Massive Bio has been very positive. My initial interaction with Eric was informative and he provide me with the proper forms to be completed. The initial report and clinical trial recommendations was excellent. The report provided a details summary of my complete cancer medical history including test results, chemotherapy treatments (which revealed an error in the history on file at one medical institution), and procedures. My follow up conversation with Kristin Johnston was professional, informative and educational. She spent a lot of time with me reviewing the clinical trial options, answering my questions on my current chemotherapy treatment regiment, and was proactive regarding follow up and next steps. I look forward to working with Massive Bio on my current cancer journey and hope that they can assist me with combatting and winning this battle. Best partner for cancer.

    I have the confidence of knowing that my plan is based on the most current science as it applies to my cancer type.

    My experience with Massive Bio was professional and satisfying. As a stage 4 cancer patient seeking a second opinion and treatment plan due to recurrence of a stomach tumor, I did not have time to lose negotiating the customary hurdles of my HMO insurance plan. I needed to quickly get opinions of recognized leaders in the field. The concept of a Virtual Tumor Board with quality doctors and health care professionals affiliated with Massive Bio was appealing. I was convinced this approach was worth a try...and I was not disappointed. After meticulously collecting details about past diagnoses, treatments, and tests, a thorough report was submitted to both me and my primary oncologist within days. The treatment plan prioritized strategies and reviewed clinical trials appropriate to my case. The plan was so thorough, well conceptualized, and clearly written that my oncologist and I had only a few questions. Those that we did raise were answered quickly and concisely.

    Massive Bio was quick and insightful in finding me the best clinical trial option.

    Massive Bio worked in collaboration with my local treating oncologist to analyze my carcinoma based on my personal cancer treatment information. In one week, Massive Bio's Virtual Tumor Board experts provided valuable insight and an informative medical report to my doctor. Collaboratively, we agreed that the clinical trial Massive Bio identified was the best option to move ahead.
