Summary

This non-interventional study will compare the Cobas BRAF V600 mutation assay with in-house methods used in molecular laboratories for the assessment of the BRAF mutation status in melanoma tumor samples. No patients will be enrolled in this study. Data will be collected for approximately 6 months.
