*The Legacy of Progress Founders led the way in initiating the Legacy of Progress campaign.
Melanoma research breakthroughs have led to approvals in both targeted therapies for BRAF mutations and immunotherapy treatments for many cancers. Since the development of immunotherapy in the last 10 years, distant metastatic disease patients’ survival rates increased from 15% to over 50%. Fund Melanoma Research, Advance All Cancer Research Our mission is to eradicate melanoma by accelerating medical RESEARCH while EDUCATING and ADVOCATING for the melanoma community.
Since 2011, many new treatments for melanoma have become available that are given either alone or in combination, including the first treatment for ocular (eye) melanoma. To date, we have awarded almost $25 million in research grants across the disciplines of biology, immunology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment leading to patents, clinical trials and new FDA-approved treatments.
