Neoadjuvant Treatments for Advanced Resectable Melanoma

Jessica Y Liu et al. J Surg Oncol. 2019 Jan.

Abstract

Neoadjuvant therapy has demonstrated promise as a treatment modality in resectable advanced-stage melanoma. Treatment has evolved beyond chemotherapy, with the utilization of biochemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy in the neoadjuvant setting. These therapies have shown better progression-free survival and melanoma-specific survival when compared with patients that proceed directly to surgery. Ongoing clinical trials will continue to propel research forward to improve the available options for patients with resectable advanced regional disease.

Keywords: melanoma; neoadjuvant treatment.
