Primary Melanocytic Tumour of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare tumours arising from melanocytes in the thin layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. These tumours range from slow-growing melanocytomas, which have a favourable prognosis, to aggressive melanomas, which spread rapidly. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing malignant cases.
Many sufferers of Primary Melanocytic Tumour struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Primary Melanocytic Tumour. We have recently created an Primary Melanocytic Tumour resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
