Is PLX4032 the future of melanoma treatment? Tuesday February 23, 2010 The New York Times has an interesting article today looking at the effect of a cancer drug called PLX4032, which is currently being tested on melanoma patients. The drug, which targets a specific gene mutation that drives cancer growth, has been shown to shrink tumors by more than 30% in 9 of the 16 melanoma patients in the phase 1 trial. However, it will take much more research before this treatment option is widely available. You can read more about the specific outcomes of the PLX4032 trial in this Medical News Today article.
