Melanoma immunotherapy
Cutaneous malignant melanoma is amongst the most aggressive cancer types, which typifies the paradox of being simultaneously highly antigenic and highly immunoevasive [1, 2]. However, various anti-melanoma immunotherapies have shown limited clinical success e.g. IL2, IFN-α2a or dendritic cells (DCs)-based vaccines [1-3]. Subsequent research showed that tumor-induced immunosuppression caused fai...
متن کاملNivolumab: Immunotherapy in Malignant Melanoma.
BACKGROUND Although patients diagnosed with melanoma that is confined to the skin have a five-year survival rate of 98%, this number drops to 16% with widely metastatic disease. Melanoma rates have been steadily increasing since the 1970s, but cytotoxic chemotherapy generally prolongs survival by about four months. Nivolumab is an effective immunotherapy agent. OBJECTIVES This article discuss...
متن کاملAdvances in immunotherapy for melanoma.
In recent years, the introduction and Federal Drug Administration approval of immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies has dramatically improved the clinical outcomes for patients with advanced melanoma. These antagonist monoclonal antibodies are capable of unleashing dormant or exhausted antitumor immunity, which has led to durable complete and partial responses in a large number of patients. Ip...
متن کاملMelanoma Genomics and Immunotherapy.
Over the last decade the molecular characterization of melanoma has progressed. Since a majority of melanoma cases arise from repeated intermittent ultra violet radiation (UVR) exposure, the role of UVR has been evaluated extensively. Recent work has identified two mechanisms in which the carcinogenesis of melanoma may result; Ultra violet radiation has been demonstrated to lead to down regulat...
متن کاملImmunotherapy of melanoma
Melanoma is considered one of the immunogenic - if not the most immunogenic - malignancies. This is based on several observations.1.Spontaneous remissions occur occasionally.2.In about 5% of melanomas no primary tumour is found. The genetic aberrations of these tumours closely resemble those of cutaneous melanomas, and therefore are suggestive of spontaneous regressions of the primary tumours.3...
