MPNE 2017

SOS Melanoma

The Value versus Affordability debate in Melanoma. 

17th- 19th March 2017, Brussels, Belgium

New therapies have changed advanced Melanoma from a hopeless disease to one with hope for even a cure.

However, these therapies are as innovative as they are expensive.

Today, numerous Melanoma patients no longer die because there are no therapies but because healthcare systems are no longer able or willing to pay for these treatments.

Innovation, especially innovation making a true difference for patients, deserves reward. At the same time, financial constraints in healthcare systems are a reality we can no longer ignore. 

Melanoma patients however are among those who pay the ultimate price for this dilemma- with their lives. 

For this reason, join us for MPNE2017 in Brussels, 17th- 19th March 2017,

• to truly understand the perspectives and constraints of all stakeholders as no one alone will find a solution
  
• and take part in the discussion about building a future that will deliver therapies that are both effective AND affordable
