描述(由申请人提供): 皮肤癌是美国最常见的癌症,而且人数还在增加。皮肤癌的死亡主要是由于黑色素瘤,黑色素瘤的数量也在增加。通过手术切除的较薄的黑色素瘤(厚度小于1毫米)与正常生活相关,但较厚的黑色素瘤(超过4毫米)被认为已经扩散到淋巴结或远处器官,无法通过现有的治疗方法治愈。在发现黑色素瘤含有阻止免疫系统杀死肿瘤的分子后,我们将研究如何中和这些分子,以便免疫系统能够更好地对抗这种致命的癌症。
英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States and its numbers are increasing. Deaths from skin cancer are due mostly to melanoma, whose numbers are also increasing. Thin melanomas (less than 1 mm in thickness) removed by surgery are associated with normal life, but thicker melanomas (more than 4 mm) are considered to have already spread to lymph nodes or distant organs, and cannot be cured by available treatments. Having discovered melanoma to contain molecules preventing the immune system from killing the tumor, we will study how to counteract these molecules so the immune system can better fight this deadly cancer.
