The medical orthodoxy is engaged in the biggest medical fraud of the century. Otto Warburg, M.D., Ph.D., the genius in Germany, discovered decades ago that cancer is one disease; oxygen deficiency to living cells, or the wrong energy supply.

The bottom line is, unfortunately, what is insurance willing to pay for?

We have clinical trials for melanoma at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center. Go here: http://www.cancer.ucla.edu/Index.aspx?page=51 And patients don't have to pay to be in a clinical trial. Their insurance covers routine things like scans/blood tests. The sponsor supplies the compound, UCLA pays its scientists.

I have not read about any targeted therapy for Melanoma. Are there any clinical trials underway for Melanoma?

Various cancer types have been shown to be responsive to oral melatonin (10-50 mg daily), including breast cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer, metastatic renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and brain metastases from solid tumors. http://www.thorne.com/altmedrev/.fulltext/10/4/326.pdf There are over 1100 medical journal articles about melatonin on PubMed. At this link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?DB=pubmed . You can type in melatonin melanoma, or melatonin prostrate, or melatonin pancreas, or many other cancers and see what researchers have to say about how melatonin will cure cancers.

More important: 1) Who gets treatments like this? (Who can afford them?) 2) Some day, cancer will be curable -- for the rich.
