The RARE Registry Can Help Advance Your Research

The Melanoma Research Alliance aggregates data from patient-reported outcomes, medical records, and biospecimens to form a more complete picture of individuals with acral and mucosal melanoma. We can assist your research efforts in a number of ways:

  • Provide access to previously collected RARE Registry data,
  • Help collect new data from RARE Registry participants,
  • Help you find participants for your own study, and
  • Release new surveys to help you better understand specific aspects of living with acral, mucosal, or cutaneous melanoma.

We are committed to sharing RARE Registry data in order to foster engagement with these melanoma subtypes. Please email RARE@CureMelanoma.org to learn more about accessing data from the RARE Registry. We look forward to working with you to help advance melanoma research. 

Coming Soon in 2026: An interactive research portal for qualified researchers to access, analyze, and visualize data from the RARE Registry.
