Advanced Melanoma Therapies

Advanced melanoma therapies are treatments designed for the later stages of melanoma, a serious skin cancer. These therapies include immunotherapy, which boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer, and targeted therapy, which attacks specific genetic mutations in melanoma cells. Options like checkpoint inhibitors help the immune system recognize and destroy cancer cells more effectively. Some patients may also receive chemotherapy or radiation. These approaches aim to slow disease progression, relieve symptoms, and extend survival, often improving the quality of life for those affected by advanced melanoma. Regular monitoring and personalized treatment plans are essential.
