The Melanoma Resource page is intended to provide information on melanoma and to streamline and simplify the way those with melanoma may find assistance paying for their medications. According to the National Cancer Institute, melanoma is a form of cancer that begins in melanocytes (cells that make the pigment melanin). It may begin in a mole (skin melanoma), but can also begin in other pigmented tissues, such as in the eye or in the intestines. |
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are programs offered by pharmaceutical companies to help those most in need gain access to their medications at no or low cost. Each program has varying financial and insurance guidelines - when in doubt, call the program. To find the specific PAP information for a specific drug click on the list below. You will then be taken to a listing of all the programs available for that medication. NeedyMeds neither promotes nor endorses the therapies listed below nor the supporters of this page. This page is for educational purposes only. | |
