Frequent BCCs linked to blood cancers

The researchers are continuing to enroll Stanford patients in their study to learn whether particular mutations in genes responsible for repairing DNA damage are linked to the development of specific malignancies. The team would also like to conduct a similar study in patients with frequent melanomas.

The current study was supported by the Dermatology Foundation, the Stanford Society of Physician Scholars, the American Skin Association, and Pellepharm Inc.
