Illness Related Distress in Women With Clinically Localized Cutaneous Melanoma

Completed

Conditions studied: Melanoma

In brief

The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences and quality of life of women who have been treated for melanoma. By quality of life, we mean how they are feeling about different aspects of their life. In this study, we are especially interested in their feelings about survival, physical appearance and any family concerns. We will administer a series of QOL questionnaires, data sheets with many questions, to get their response to measure their feelings about these issues.
