THE EARLY YEARS
In the late s and early s the mood in the melanoma field was grim. “Nothing works,” said our oncology colleague Lynn Schuchter, after the third large Phase III trial in immune therapy (a MAGE3 trial) failed. Don Morton’s Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) trial had also just failed, and he was truly disappointed (Morton et al., ; Eilber et al., ). There were no alternatives, no hope. The melanoma research field was small, underfunded, and isolated. While oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, and epidemiologists continued spirited debates about their newest findings in specialized meetings, the melanoma experimental researchers were few and widely scattered. Prior to the founding of the Society for Melanoma Research (SMR), melanoma researchers did not have an intellectual home. There was no organized pipeline for attracting young researc

Research Issues with Electronic Records
Most of you are aware that patient records (except, presumably, in a very few isolated practices) are electronic, not paper. In theory, this makes lots of things about care more efficient, It is simpler to share information; results are accurate and available to all caregivers; patients at many institutions can access their own records (e.g. our Patient Site). Of course there are problems, too. One that I frequently observe is that, if an error is made in one person's note, it often is copied and pasted and shows up in many notes, taking on a life of its' own. Don't read that sentence and panic; this is never about critical facts. It will be something like saying that the patient's elderly mother lives with her when, in fact, the mother died two years ago.
Today's article from The New York Times raises another issue that had not occurred to me. It describes a fledgling research effort at DFCI that needed to gather
