What should you ask your doctor about melanoma clinical trials? Considering a clinical trial for melanoma includes asking what research question is being studied, how the treatment has worked for melanoma so far, and whether insurance covers the costs of melanoma clinical trials. Melanoma expert Dr. Michael B. Atkins covers these questions, along with whether joining a melanoma clinical trial will affect future melanoma treatments.
