Inhibition of melanocortin 1 receptor slows melanoma growth, reduces tumor heterogeneity and increases survival

Melanoma risk is increased in patients with mutations of melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) yet the basis for the increased risk remains unknown. Here we report in vivo evidence supporting a critical role for MC1R in regulating melanoma tumor growth and determining overall survival time. Inhibition of M...
