Getting to Know SMR! The Society for Melanoma Research 2015 Congress is a global congress that unites melanoma clinicians and researchers to focus on multidisciplinary management of melanoma/skin cancer. It provides key insight into the practical advantages of multidisciplinary care of patients with cutaneous malignancies. This is the leading meeting for cutting edge data in melanoma with over 900 healthcare professionals in attendance including researchers, medical oncologists, dermatologists and surgical oncologists. Who We Are The Society for Melanoma Research (SMR) is a diverse organization of scientific and medical investigators devoted to alleviating the suffering of people with melanoma. The SMR was founded to unify the field by increasing communication among researchers and building bridges of collaboration between basic, translational, and clinical investigators. Why you should become an Exhibitor or Sponsor? SMR s annual congress is rapidly growing. The number in attendance has increased from 620 attendees in 2012 to 903 in 2014. Our growth is due to the exciting and late breaking research and clinical updates presented throughout the three day conference.
