Skin Cancer Modeling

Skin Cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma, is a major focus of oncology research—particularly melanoma, due to its high invasiveness and metastatic potential. Common animal modeling methods include chemical carcinogenesis, ultraviolet (UV) induction, spontaneous models, and tumor cell line implantation. These models are widely used to study the pathogenesis of skin cancer, anti-tumor immune responses, and the evaluation of novel therapeutic strategies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors.
