Genetic researchers at QIMR Berghofer are already looking into whether certain genes in melanoma cells influence the behavior of the skin cancer, perhaps leading to the development of a more dangerous disease.Professor Whiteman said, "We want to be able to run a test to identify if particular melanomas themselves possess a mutation that makes their melanomas more or less dangerous."He said that some people may have inherited genes that make them less susceptible to cancer's impacts."Those folks may have a genetic sensitivity or strength, if you will," he said, "that raises or lessens the probability of a melanoma spreading in their body."Another explanation is that there are disparities in immune systems.Professor Whiteman added, "We do know that our immune systems mount an immunological response to malignancies, notably melanomas.""Because melanomas are frequently extensively altered tumors, they often express a plethora of strange proteins on their surfaces, which can elicit an immune response."
