Can the most severe form of skin cancer be cured? Understanding the latest breakthrough

Firstpost  

Scientists in the US have developed a novel way to stop the growth of melanoma, the most severe form of skin cancer. After India rolled out its first vaccine against cervical cancer on Wednesday and a miracle drug called ‘Dostarlimab’ cured 18 people with rectal cancer in the United States, scientists have now found a new treatment to stop the growth of melanoma skin cancer. The first signs and symptoms of melanoma skin cancer include a change of shape and colour of an existing mole or the development of a new pigmented or unusual-looking growth on the skin. The Ronai lab is now working collaboratively with scientists at the Conrad Prebys Centre for Chemical Genomics at Sanford Burnham to identify small molecule GCDH inhibitors that could treat melanoma skin cancer in the future. According to National Health Survey, around 16,000 new cases of melanoma skin cancer are diagnosed in the country every year.
