MRNA benefits

Early but encouraging news on the application of mRNA technology (developed through COVID vaccines) for melanoma treatment. The silver lining in the immense COVID cloud was always likely to be new medical breakthroughs. This one isn’t there yet but looking good - essentially it’s personalised treatment.

    I am most excited about this development @Afraser having had 4 melanoma and over 20 moles with pre cancerous cells. I see my dermatologist every 6 months and it's an exciting day if I don't have a biopsy. I have been fortunate that my Melanomas have been found early and cut out. However this vaccine brings such new hope.
