Researchers discover a new mechanism involved in early melanoma metastasis

Research led by CNIO scientist Héctor Peinado shows that the NGFR molecule drives the entire process of early metastasis in melanoma and that blocking it drastically reduces metastasis in animal models. The reduction was achieved using THX-B. This molecule is being tested for the treatment of other pathologies, which will accelerate its possible use in the treatment of tumors.
