Im Focus Onkologie Aims and scope

Genexpressionstests haben sich in der Tumorversorgung zu einer wertvollen Methodik entwickelt, um die Einschätzung des individuellen Rückfallrisikos zu optimieren. Auch für das maligne Melanom der Haut stehen nun derartige Tests zur Verfügung. Sie können Ärzten helfen, gemeinsam mit ihren Patienten die weitere Therapie dem individuellen Risiko anzupassen.
