Brent Moody, MD: Assessing the Prognostic Significance of the 31-gene Expression Profile Test

Dr. Moody reviews findings from a poster presented at the 2025 Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference, highlighting the clinical utility of the 31-gene expression profile (31-GEP) test in patients with cutaneous melanoma. The study evaluated how this molecular test can help stratify melanoma-specific survival across different histological subtypes.

Topics Covered

  • Overview of the 31-GEP test and its role in melanoma prognosis
  • How gene expression profiling supports risk stratification
  • Findings across multiple histological melanoma subtypes
  • Implications for clinical decision-making and patient management
