ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Advanced melanoma accounts for the majority of skin cancer-associated deaths. Over the past 15 years, there has been a dramatic change in the treatment options and prognosis for patients with advanced melanoma secondary to the development of novel systemic immunotherapies (IO) and targeted therapies. In addition to these novel systemic therapies, regional therapies (intralesional and perfusional) also continue to play a major role in the management of these patients. AREAS COVERED In this article, we review recent updates in the management of advanced melanoma via Medline (PubMed) and Google Scholar, including recently published trials in the metastatic, adjuvant, and neoadjuvant settings. We also review recently published trials for regional therapies and discuss future directions in the management of patients with advanced melanoma. EXPERT OPINION A significant portion of patients with advanced melanoma will develop recurrent or progressive disease following treatment with IO or targeted therapy. Therefore, identifying not only the appropriate therapeutic agent but also the sequence and duration of treatment is pivotal for these patients.Palavras-chave
