Most of us that post on here regularly have at one point or another recommended to a newly diagnosed member to get to a Melanoma specialist and preferably one at one of the 68 NCI designated cancer centers. This is a great article for why that is excellent advice. Also has interesting information about what some of the top-level cancer centers are starting to do in regards to genetic testing and "personalized" treatment. Pretty good stuff.
Thank you for posting this, it is the first I have heard of it. I have noted the advice to see a melanoma specialist, but had not noted the NCI designated cancer center part.
