Thérapies moléculaires ciblées (hors immunothérapie)

Metastatic melanoma has been a very poor prognostic cancer with a median of survival between six to eight months. A lot of new therapies have been discovered these last years. Two types of treatment have emerged: immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Targeted therapies have been developed because of the discovery of new oncogenic mutations with a big impact of melanoma development. The efficacy is great with a high overall response and a good tolerance. However, most of patients escape in few months of targeted therapy. The sequence of drug using and their combination are the question for the next years.
