摘要: After more than 20 years of little improvement in the outcome for patients with malignant melanoma despite a huge international effort spanning basic and clinical research, last 2 have shown significant steps forward treatment options. This year has seen one new drug (Ipilimumab) being licensed second (vemurafenib) submitted approval. chapter focuses on key trials 5 years, gives an indication challenges ahead to ensure optimal use these effective therapies.
