Towards Personalized Medicine in Melanoma: Implementation of a Clinical Next-Generation Sequencing Panel

Abstract Molecular diagnostics are increasingly performed routinely in the diagnosis and management of patients with melanoma due to the development of novel therapies that target specific genetic mutations. The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has enabled to sequence mul...
