University of California Melanoma & Skin Cancer Consortium

University of California’s five Comprehensive Cancer Centers are leaders in developing these personalized treatments—known as precision medicine—along with other innovative treatments.

The University of California Cancer Consortium brings together our five National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers. Some of the world’s leading cancer physicians, researchers and clinicians at our centers actively share research, clinical trials and best practices. They do this to continually advance cancer care across California and beyond.

This symposium is an opportunity for patients and caregivers to learn about melanoma from medical professionals and fellow patients, caregivers, and survivors. This event is FREE and open to all and will be presented both in-person and virtually.
