Abstract
Melanoma is the cancer with the fastest incidence increase in Switzerland. 30% of the cases arise before the age of 50 years. Once metastatic, the median survival under current systemic therapies is about 8 months, with less than 5% of patients alive at 5 years. Many efforts in the understanding of cellular biology, intracellular signaling pathways, as well as the role of cellular immunity have been made in the recent years. This has resulted in the development of novel and very promising therapies. In this review, we will cover the results obtained with targeted therapies such as "tyrosin kinase inhibitors" (TKI), as well as those obtained with a monoclonal antibody directed against the CTLA-4 receptor of lymphocytes.
