Immunotherapy Combo Improves Melanoma That Has Spread to Brain

Predicting who is likely or unlikely to respond to checkpoint inhibitors remains a focus for researchers.

This finding from a large study surprised and concerned researchers.

The study followed up with people five to seven years after treatment, allowing the researchers to correlate blood factors with survival.

The new report shows that melanoma is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States among both men and women.

This research offers hope that certain drugs given before metastasis could reduce the number of patients whose cancers progress stage 4.

Acral, uveal, and mucosal melanoma — known collectively as “rare melanomas” — represent a type of black hole for the clinical communit...

A new study shows a sharp drop in melanoma rates in people under 30, but skin cancer rates are still going up in those over 40.

The new documentary follows the pioneering researcher who work helped created checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy.

While most gene mutations are harmless, others are not and can spur the formation of cancer.

“It was amazing to see the tumors shrink over time; and if this helps other people in the future, that’s even better.”

MRA has become the largest non-profit funder of melanoma research worldwide, helping to usher in a new paradigm in melanoma treatment.

A study in mice suggests that therapies approved for breast cancer may also combat other types, including colorectal and stomach cancer.
