Treatment Practices in Metastatic Melanoma

Compared with nivolumab alone, nivolumab/relatlimab did not improve RFS in patients with resected stage III to IV melanoma.

John Kirkwood, MD, PhD, discussed considerations for treating patients with melanoma using immunotherapy and how to properly monitor responses.

Efficacy across most patient subgroups appeared to be consistent with relatlimab/nivolumab vs ipilimumab/nivolumab in patients with advanced melanoma.

On this episode of the Oncology® Peer Review On-The-Go, Emily Smith, MD, discussed a patient case of basal cell carcinoma she and colleagues published in the journal ONCOLOGY®.

The combination of nurulimab plus prolgolimab enhanced PFS, ORR, and DCR compared with prolgolimab monotherapy in unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

ctDNA levels may help to predict early recurrence for patients with stage III melanoma before adjuvant therapy and during follow-up.
