Gene Loss Helps Melanoma Resist Targeted Drugs
Original: How a Single Gene Loss Helps Melanoma Outsmart Targeted Drugs
Researchers report that the loss of a single gene allows melanoma cells to evade targeted therapies, helping explain why patients often relapse after initial treatment success. The finding points to a mechanism of drug resistance in skin cancer and may guide new combination approaches that account for this genetic loss when treating patients.
Why now: New research offering a possible explanation for why melanoma treatments stop working is drawing scientific and public interest
