JERUSALEM, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- An Israeli-led study has found a way to prevent melanoma cancer from metastasizing to the brain, Tel Aviv University (TAU) in central Israel said on Tuesday.

In the study, published in the journal JCI Insight, TAU researchers and their colleagues from the United States and Portugal deciphered the mechanism that enables melanoma to spread to the brain and managed to delay the spread by 60 to 80 percent using existing treatments.
