Direct economic burden of high-risk and metastatic melanoma in the elderly: evidence from the SEER-Medicare linked database.

TL;DR: The per-patient cost of advanced melanoma is high, however, when combining estimated monthly costs with median follow-up duration, total costs incurred by Medicare appear to be highest for patients diagnosed at stage IIIA/B.
Journal ArticleDOI

Checkpoint modulation in melanoma: an update on ipilimumab and future directions.

TL;DR: Ipilimumab, an anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 antibody, was the first therapy demonstrated to improve overall survival in melanoma and paved the way for rapid development of second-generation immunomodulatory antibodies such as inhibitors of the programmed cell death 1 receptor axis.
Journal ArticleDOI
