TLDR
It is demonstrated that durable (≥3 years) survival is achievable with dabrafenib plus trametinib in patients with BRAF V600-mutant metastatic melanoma and support long-term first-line use of the combination in this setting.

Treatment of patients with advanced melanoma harboring the BRAF V600 mutation

TL;DR: Formal analysis indicates that molecularly targeted treatment is the method of choice in the first-line setting in patients with BRAF (+) melanoma because the value of anti-BRAF/anti-MEK drugs in this population was confirmed by consistent results of three phase 3 studies.

WNT5A-ROR2 axis mediates VEGF dependence of BRAF mutant melanoma

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors found that BRAFV600E/BRAFWT cells secreted more VEGF and exhibited accelerated growth rates as spheroids and xenografts, which were more vascular and proliferative.

Checkpoint blockade and BRAF/MEK therapy in the therapeutic setting improved the overall survival after sentinel node biopsy: A retrospective study comparing patients with primary care between 1998‐2009 and 2010‐2017

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors demonstrate the resulting increase in melanoma-specific survival (MSS) and overall survival after the excision of primary melanomas (≥1 mm thick) and sentinel lymph node (SN) biopsy.

Evaluation of cutaneous adverse events of encorafenib and binimetinb: COMMENT on article by Graf et al.

TL;DR: It is shown that rate and severity of cutaneous toxicities differ between currently available BRAF and MEK inhibitors and that encorafenib and binimetinib might be the favourable combination with regard to skin toxicity.

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.
