Improving clinical outcomes of melanoma patients

黑色素瘤发病率继续上升，它仍然是年轻人癌症死亡的主要原因。预防和早期发现是疾病控制的基础。晚期疾病的药物治疗最近开始延长生存期，但在许多人中仍然无效。利用澳大利亚黑色素瘤研究所（世界上最大的黑色素瘤治疗中心）的广泛资源，这项研究旨在改善难以治疗和侵袭性黑色素瘤患者的预后。

Melanoma incidence continues to rise & it remains a leading cause of cancer death in young adults. Prevention & early detection are foundations of disease control. Drug treatments for advanced disease have recently begun to extend survival but remain ineffective in many. Utilising the extensive resources of Melanoma Institute Australia (world's largest melanoma treatment centre), this research seeks to improve outcomes of patients with difficult to treat & aggressive melanomas.
