Personalized Treatment for Melanoma

Dr. Beth Strow is a dermatologist. And a stage IV melanoma survivor. Her search for the best treatment brought her to Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, where a new targeted therapy being studied in a clinical trial has kept her advanced cancer at bay for more than two years. In this video, hear Beth’s story and meet Dr. Jeff Sosman, who leads the research team at Vanderbilt studying the genetics involved in melanoma and how tumor DNA affects whether drugs work, don’t work or stop working.
