Exploring New Research on Melanoma Brain Metastases

Guest: Benjamin Izar, MD Host: Andrew Wilner, MD, Author of "The Locum Life: A Physician's Guide to Locum Tenens" Brain metastases are common in patients with advanced melanoma and are a leading cause of cancer-related death. However, little is known as to why melanoma spreads to the brain, but new research from Columbia University may provide some answers. To discuss this recent discovery, Dr. Andrew Wilner is joined by Dr. Benjamin Izar, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.
