Investigators studied the relationship between Fitzpatrick skin type and the characteristics and outcomes associated with 2 types of ocular melanoma.

They specifically studied a subtype of melanoma triggered by a mutation of BRAF, a gene that helps regulate cell division. A ...

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a genetic mutation that slows the growth of melanoma and potentially other cancers by harnessing the power of the immune system.

It’s time for researchers to reconsider the current paradigm of cancer as a genetic disease, argued Sui Huang from the ...

The functions of CDKN2A and CDK4 in melanoma development, however, are currently incompletely understood. Therefore, at this time, predictive genetic testing for CDKN2A mutations outside of ...
