Summary
This study looked at whether a blood test could find genetic changes in people with advanced melanoma. Normally, doctors need to take a piece of the tumor (biopsy) to check for these changes, which can be painful and hard to do. The study tested blood samples from 50 patients to see if the same information could be found in the blood instead.
