Immunotherapy Combo Improves Melanoma That Has Spread to Brain

The FDA and MRA are leveraging their combined strengths to host a public workshop on neoadjuvant therapy in melanoma.

Can new therapies benefit patients with early stage melanoma, where spread of disease has yet to be observed?

Between 1970 and 2009, melanoma rates increased nearly 10-fold among women under 40.

“There were so many things that were outside of my control, so I decided to focus on the things that I could do something about.”

NKTR-214 plus Opdivo has been granted an FDA breakthrough therapy designation for advanced melanoma.

Some of the most common and deadly cancers receive little attention and resources.

The Cytophone device was able to detect a single cancer cell in a liter of blood.

For patients, the decision to move forward with adjuvant therapy isn’t as cut and dry as it may seem.

New research asks if an alternative dosing schedule can produce the same effects with fewer side effects.

Treatment involves selecting, multiplying and reinfusing cancer-fighting immune cells.

Melanoma researchers have several experimental animal models from which to choose, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The panel and the audience candidly discussed lifelong prevention concerns, fear of recurrence, feelings of isolation and survivor’s guilt.

Together, these trials indicate that triple combos show promise and while there are significant toxicities, they are mostly manageable.
