Stopping Melanoma in its Tracks?

It looks like there is a new drug that can stop melanoma spread by 90%. If we can combine that with other treatments, it looks like this is another form of cancer that we can deal with.

"The human-made, small-molecule drug compound targets a gene's ability to make RNA molecules and proteins in melanoma tumours. This gene activity causes the disease to spread, but the compound can shut it down. Until now, few other compounds of this kind have been able to accomplish this."
