Management of metastatic melanoma: improved survival in a national cohort following the approvals of checkpoint blockade immunotherapies and targeted therapies

ConclusionsIn a national “real-life” treatment population, we show that the wide availability of the novel treatment modalities ICB and BRAFV600-targeted therapy has significantly improved the survival of patients with stage 4 melanoma. Our findings additionally suggest that there are opportunities for expanding coverage and access to these novel immunotherapies in community practice.
