Skin in the Game: Outsmarting Melanoma with Immunotherapy
After Dean first had a melanoma removed from his leg, he thought his cancer story was over. But when it returned and spread, everything changed. With the help of his WashU Medicine medical oncologist Alice Zhou, MD, PhD, and groundbreaking immunotherapy, Dean fought through life-threatening side effects — and won. Now healthy and in remission, Dean shares his journey of resilience, the lessons he learned about sun care, and why awareness matters more than ever this Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month.
