Eye melanoma: Cracking the code of a difficult-to-detect cancer

Dr Kelly Brooks from QIMR Berghofer is working to crack the code that will improve the treatment of eye melanoma, which is one of the most difficult cancers to detect and treat early. Half of these cases have already spread to other parts of the body. In most cases it is found in the liver. Dr Brooks is working on what causes the  cells to spread and how researchers might block that process.
