The AMLo team has enjoyed a productive and interesting meeting at the 2025 combined EADO and World Congress on Melanoma #MelanomaEADO2025 meeting in Athens, Greece. Our combined approach of academic presentation and commercial presence optimises our impact. Key takeaways from this meeting include: 💡Change in focus for clinicians to reduce unnecessary investigations for low-risk early-stage melanoma patients 👉 Credible biomarkers are essential to risk stratify these low-risk melanomas 👩🔬 Overtreatment of Stage IIs is a concern, especially amongst the IIBs 🌟 Addition of clinical pathological features to complement genetic and IHC tests was seen as essential to achieve optimal personalised risk stratification during plenary sessions and debates ✨ AMBLor has relevance to all these important points. It was pointed out in a main plenary session that AMBLor has superiority over all other proprietary biomarkers for identifying low risk early-stage melanomas. 📒 AMBLor® testing service is provided by Avero Diagnostics as a physician-ordered, laboratory-developed test (LDT). The AMBLor® test meets the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) definition and requirements for LDTs, but it has not been reviewed by the FDA. AMBLor® has received its UKCA mark in the UK.

Advances in #melanoma treatment have significantly improved outcomes, yet melanoma remains an aggressive cancer requiring vigilant management to ensure continuity of care. https://bit.ly/4kTGD9w Patient satisfaction and involvement in decision-making are increasingly recognised as critical components of care, ensuring management aligns with individual needs. AMLo Biosciences recognise that accurate prognostic information plays a vital role in ensuring continuity of care. Our #AMBLor® biomarker test that accurately identifies early-stage melanomas at low risk of progression, provides additional risk information at diagnosis that can reduce unnecessary interventions, tailor follow-up schedules and improve patient-centred care. AMBLor® testing service is provided by Avero Diagnostics as a physician-ordered, laboratory-developed test (LDT). The AMBLor® test meets the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) definition and requirements for LDTs, but it has not been reviewed by the FDA. AMBLor® has received its UKCA mark in the UK. #dermatology #dermatopathology #skincaner #histopathology #oncology #cancerresearch #biomarkers #HealthcareInnovation

Katherine Ryan's recent second #melamona diagnosis is a stark reminder of the aggressive nature of this #skincancer type. Awareness is vital. https://bit.ly/4bYSwXR We extend our sympathy to Katherine during this challenging time and support her move to socialise this to raise awareness of being #skinaware. Understanding and monitoring skin changes is critical and anything unusual needs to be checked by a healthcare professional. #AMBLor®, our validated biomarker prognostic is available for clinicians to use. It personalises care by stratifying early-stage melanoma for low-risk of metastasis. This information can help clinical management of melanoma, potentially offering patients peace of mind about progression, providing the opportunity to remove the need for further invasive diagnostic procedures, thus enabling a personalised follow-up schedule based on the patient’s risk profile. AMBLor® testing service is provided by Avero Diagnostics as a physician-ordered, laboratory-developed test (LDT). The AMBLor® test meets the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) definition and requirements for LDTs, but it has not been reviewed by the FDA.

AMLo Biosciences want to share this great animation of how a #melanoma develops and spreads. It clearly shows the process of melanocyte changes as the start of #skincancer and what metastasis looks like. The message here is to avoid UV damage to the skin and to check moles regularly. See a dermatologist with any concerns. Stay #skinaware.
Many of us love soaking up the sun—whether it’s a swim at the beach or just lying out to get that summer glow. But while the sun feels amazing, too much of it can put us at risk for skin cancer, especially melanoma. This isn’t about avoiding the sun completely—it’s about knowing the risks and protecting ourselves. What is melanoma? Melanoma starts in the skin cells that give us our pigment (melanocytes). That’s why it often appears as a new mole or a change in an existing one. Unlike regular moles, melanomas tend to be irregular in shape, have uneven colors, or grow over time. How do we spot it A simple way to remember is the ABCDE rule: 🦋 A – Asymmetry (one half doesn’t match the other) 💊 B – Border (irregular or jagged edges) 🎨 C – Color (multiple colors in one spot) 🪃 D – Diameter (larger than 6mm, about the size of a pencil eraser) 🧊 E – Evolving (changes over time in size, shape, or color) If we notice anything suspicious, it’s always worth getting it checked. Better safe than sorry! Who is at risk ☀️ Those of us with fair skin, lots of moles, or a family history of melanoma might be at higher risk. 🔥 Sunburns, especially blistering ones in childhood, increase the risk. 👙 Tanning beds - not a good idea—they emit UV rays that damage our skin, just like the sun. What we do to prevent it 🧴Sunscreen is our best friend – Using SPF 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days, helps protect our skin. 👒 Covering up – Hats, sunglasses, and long sleeves give us extra protection when we’re out in the sun. 🔎 Checking our skin regularly – Knowing our moles helps us catch changes early. 🍭 Avoiding tanning beds – Our skin will thank us later. Melanoma is highly treatable when caught early. That’s why awareness is so important—it can literally save lives. 🎥 VC: knowledge3darts IG #ultrasound #skincancer #melanoma #MohamedReda #Health #Skin #Medical

AMLo Biosciences would like to thank everyone who visited us at #AAD25 last week - it was great to see customers and discuss #AMBLor® as well as our MiS research pipeline in #melanoma. “Patient-tailored care” is the phrase that resonates with our customers. Showcasing the value of AMBLor®, our accurate biomarker prognostic, demonstrates a paradigm shift in melanoma care from population-based medicine to personalised medicine. AMBLor® reliably stratifies early-stage melanomas at low-risk of progression, even on thinner depth lesions that can’t be sent for any other prognostic testing. The test is quick, cost-effective and is supported by a dedicated team. Our case studies were of significant interest at AAD – with delegates better understanding the clinical value described by known healthcare providers. We are delighted that AMBLor® can provide extra prognostic information that helps inform clinical next steps and discussions around ongoing management, ultimately bringing us closer to individualised patient care. Please follow up with us if you have additional questions and look out for us at other meetings and conferences. Our next event is #EADO25 3-5 April, Athens. https://bit.ly/4bV1NQp AMBLor® testing service is provided by Avero Diagnostics as a physician-ordered, laboratory-developed test (LDT). The AMBLor test meets the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) definition and requirements for LDTs, but it has not been reviewed by the FDA.

We are delighted to reshare this post from British Skin Foundation that highlights our work in #melanoma prognostics. Without BSF support we would not be where we are today. Overcoming many challenges, our initial research into biomarkers AMBRA1 and loricrin has resulted in #AMBLor® - our validated prognostic laboratory test available for clinicians to use. AMBLor® identifies early-stage melanomas at low-risk of metastases. This information, additional to diagnostic staging data, can help shape clinical management of melanoma, offering patients peace of mind about progression, potentially removing the need for further invasive diagnostic procedures and enabling a more personalised follow-up schedule. AMBLor® testing service is provided by Avero Diagnostics as a physician-ordered, laboratory-developed test (LDT). The AMBLor® test meets the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) definition and requirements for LDTs, but it has not been reviewed by the FDA. AMBLor® has received its UKCA mark in the UK. #dermatology #dermatopathology #skincaner #histopathology #oncology #cancerresearch #biomarkers #HealthcareInnovation
