MELANOMA DISEASE STRATIFICATION Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
The invention relates to the field of melanoma tumor disease stratification. In particular it relates to the methods for melanoma tumor analysis, such as for determining melanoma tumor cell heterogeneity during melanoma treatment. These methods are helpful in selecting or optimizing melanoma therapy, or in predicting responses to melanoma therapy. The invention further relates to methods for screening for cytotoxic or cytostatic compounds targeting one or more of the heterogeneous melanoma tumor cell populations occurring such as during therapy.
