英国黑色素瘤
英国黑色素瘤正式称为因子50,是一个患者支持小组,成立于2007年。该小组是为了纪念乔恩·赫伦(Jon Herron),乔恩·赫伦(Jon Herron)是一个来自北爱尔兰的年轻人,可悲的是在2008年5月去世。
英国黑色素瘤is attached to The Christie, one of Europe’s biggest cancer centres and it's aims are to raise awareness of the dangers of abuse of the sun and sun beds, fund raise for melanoma research, the most serious form of skin cancer, whilst providing support to patients and families. In 2010 Factor 50 became an integral part of Sian James MP’s Melanoma Task Force and is currently taking part in providing the melanoma pathway. In 2011 Factor 50 became a stake holder with NICE, and started giving evidence during drug appraisals.
