Melanoma study volunteers needed

Justin BianchiniThe Advocate

VOLUNTEERS are needed for a melanoma study.

Healthy adults aged older than 40 are sought if they have never had melanoma or other cancers, to act as control subjects for a research project.

The project aims to improve the way melanoma is monitored to ensure treatment efficiency is optimal.

Volunteers would have to donate 40mL (about two tablespoons) of blood.
