AIM At Melanoma And The Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation Offer New Education Brochure
T
he Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation (Garden City, New York) and the AIM at Melanoma Foundation (San Rafael, California) have partnered to create and produce What is Ocular Melanoma?
This free brochure illustrates the locations within the eye where the disease occurs, describes symptoms, and presents risk factors. This resource also explains the components of a comprehensive eye exam.
Ocular melanoma is the most common primary cancer of the eye in adults, and AIM and Mollie's Fund believe that public awareness is crucial in reducing OM statistics.
Although many patients never experience warning signs, it's important to educate the public on symptoms and on the need for comprehensive eye examinations. The experience and insights of Jasmine H. Francis, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in developing this public resource were invaluable and much appreciated.
These two non-profit foundations previously collaborated on Everything You Need to Know About Your Skin Exam. This brochure describes the risk factors of melanoma of the skin, explains how to assess moles according to the ABCDE Rule, and answers frequently asked questions about total body exams.
