DNA Repair Genes Help Predict Impact Of Chemo For Melanoma

A link between the level of active DNA repair genes in melanoma tumours and the effectiveness of chemotherapy for skin cancer patients has been established for the first time by a team of scientists. The study, part-funded by Cancer Research UK and published in Clinical Cancer Research* , found that higher levels of DNA repair genes in melanoma tumours were associated with a poorer response to …
