‘Testing of an individual’s blood has been found to reveal the presence of skin cancer — circulating melanoma cells.’
The study used a melanoma-specific microsystem — melanoma-specific OncoBean platform conjugated with melanoma-specific antibodies to isolate the circulating tumor cells, diagnose melanoma and evaluate the efficacy of surgical resection. Efficacy of Advanced Test
The test can not only be used to diagnose melanoma but also to evaluate whether all cancer cells have been successfully removed after skin cancer surgery. The advanced test may soon help forego invasive skin biopsies to detect skin cancer."This is the first comprehensive study of circulating tumor cells—or CTCs—to evaluate the efficacy of surgery using microfluidic systems in melanoma, including changes in the number of CTCs, CTC cluster configuration, and gene expression profiling,” says first author, Yoon-Tae Kang, PhD.

Dietary Fiber Improves Treatment Outcomes for Skin Cancer Patients
New research showed that both dietary fiber and probiotic use impact the gut microbiome of skin cancer patients and influence the treatment outcome.
