Grant Activity:
Novel predictive disease modelling using liquid biopsies to improve outcomes in melanoma
Purpose:
Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer and treatment can be challenging. It is critical to predict which patients can be cured by surgery alone versus those at high risk of disease spread. Many cancers including melanoma can release small fragments of their DNA into a patient's bloodstream (circulating tumour DNA or ctDNA). This project aims to develop and validate a ctDNA based blood test to detect residual disease after surgery to guide treatment and improve survival outcomes.
