It’s a daily pill called Rasonque. This offers a new approach to treating the deadly illness. Dr. Jeremy Jacox of Yale School of Medicine and Yale Cancer Center offered insight on what makes the drug stand out, how it can pave the way for more cancer treatments, the high cost of the drug, and why pancreatic cancer is so much deadlier than other cancers.

Compared to other types of skin cancer, melanoma is much more likely to spread to other parts of the body if not found and treated early. Even when it is surgically removed, melanoma can return, or recur.
