Whole-Body MRI for the Detection of Recurrence in Melanoma Patients at High Risk of Relapse.

TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective study explores the use of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (whole-body MRI) for the early detection of recurrences of melanoma patients.

Successful Treatment of Multiple Metastatic Melanoma with Nivolumab, Ipilimumab plus Denosumab Combined Therapy.

TL;DR: A case of multiple metastatic melanoma with nivolumab, ipilimumab plus denosumab combined therapy is presented and it is suggested that, since CD8+ T cells after the administration of ICIs increase the RANKL expression to induce an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in melanoma, denosumaab might enhance the anti-tumor effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Real-world efficacy and safety of axitinib in combination with anti-programmed cell death-1 antibody for advanced mucosal melanoma.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of axitinib plus immunotherapy for advanced mucosal melanoma in early phase trials and found that the combination of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) blockade provides promising therapeutic opportunities for advanced melanoma.

Pooled Analysis of Long-Term Survival Data From Phase II and Phase III Trials of Ipilimumab in Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma

TL;DR: A plateau in the survival curve was observed, beginning at approximately 3 years, which was independent of prior therapy or ipilimumab dose, and added to the evidence supporting the durability of long-term survival in ipILimumab-treated patients with advanced melanoma.
