Merck and Moderna's mRNA vaccine became the first neoantigen cancer therapy to clear Phase 3 trials, outperforming Keytruda alone at preventing melanoma's return in 1,000+ patients.
FDA approval is next step.

Can you help me rally this weekend?
I can't lose momentum or I risk falling even further behind.
I have my next appointment with my oncologist in 2 weeks - along with my next Signatera test.
Please share for me!

Among patients undergoing wide excision for #Melanoma, compliance with new Commission on Cancer surgical documentation guidelines improved in 2023, including margin size, excision depth, and use of Commission on Cancer forms.
A personalised cancer vaccine moves another step closer. A late-stage trial of an mRNA vaccine tailored to each patient’s tumour has shown it can reduce the risk of melanoma returning or spreading.
