Background:

  • Melanoma is a deadly human skin cancer, particularly challenging to treat after metastasis.
  • Zebrafish have emerged as a valuable model organism for studying human diseases, including cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development and utility of zebrafish melanoma models.
  • To highlight their contribution to understanding melanoma biology and treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on zebrafish melanoma models.
  • Analysis of the biological fidelity and genetic tractability of these models.

Main Results:

  • Zebrafish melanoma models accurately recapitulate key aspects of human melanoma.
  • These models have already provided significant insights into melanoma pathogenesis.
  • They have identified novel therapeutic targets and treatment approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Zebrafish models are indispensable for advancing melanoma research.
  • Continued refinement of these models will accelerate the discovery of effective melanoma therapies.
