Department Overview: The Cutaneous Oncology research group focuses on clinical trials aimed at the treatment of advanced skin cancers, especially melanoma. Melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer, one of the most common cancers, and one of the few cancer types with increasing incidence. Current research in progress includes immunotherapies, targeted therapies, mRNA, viral vectors, and other intralesionally injected drugs as well as some exploratory research involving tumor tissue and blood products. The UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center (HDFCCC) is one of only two cancer centers in the Bay Area to receive the prestigious designation of “comprehensive” from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The HDFCCC integrates the work of researchers and clinicians dedicated to four fundamental pursuits: laboratory research into the causes of cancer progression; clinical research to translate new knowledge into viable treatments; compassionate, state-of-the-art patient care; and population research that can lead to improvements in prevention, early detection, and quality-of-life for those living with cancer. The twin pillars of precision medicine and precision population health guide research and treatment at HDFCCC.
