WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, the Melanoma Research Foundation's (MRF) CURE OM initiative, dedicated to increasing awareness, education, support and research funding for ocular melanoma (OM) released its first-ever data report highlighting its Virtual Information System to Improve Outcomes and Networks (VISION) Registry's inaugural year. Launched in May 2021, VISION tracks patients from the time of diagnosis through their full experience with ocular melanoma. Patients from around the world can share their experiences with this rare disease to help advance patient care, quality of life and ultimately find a cure for OM. VISION collects patient-reported outcomes such as symptoms, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), perceived health status, experience with the health system and preferences to inform stakeholders on the patient experience. Understanding this holistic experience is pivotal to identify potential causes, improve quality of patient care and enhance clinical research resulting in better therapeutic interventions.

Key Points: 
  • Launched in May 2021, VISION tracks patients from the time of diagnosis through their full experience with ocular melanoma.
  • The VISION Registry Data Report provides key takeaways and accomplishments from the registry's first year and establishes a strong and impressive framework for future patient-centered resources, collaboration and research.
  • The report offers insight into areas such as socio-demographics, clinical care, patient experience, patient preferences and quality of life.
