not sure where she gets that from, if you look in the Mimms, (the drug information bible that the medical community uses) there is no mention of a link between melanoma and Rebif. so i can only think that its something she ahs seen amogst her patients rather than an accepted drug reaction. infact when i did a search i found one clinical trial that had been looking at the idea of using rebif to treat patients with recurrent melanoma!!
I live in australia, we have the highest incidence of melanoma in the world so you'd think it there were a link between the drugs and melanoma we would have been told- i see my neuro on monday and i will ask him about it but my thoughts at the moment is that all moles etc need to be monitored and checked if they change regardless of whether we are on DMD's.
