Melanoma Updates for the Dermatologist

A 15-minute melanoma update built around one decision at diagnosis, one decade-long survival story, and one new treatment option after PD-1 failure.

The melanoma update is deliberately narrow: how prospective CP-GEP data may inform the sentinel-node conversation, what 10-year CheckMate 067 follow-up says about the durability of modern immunotherapy, and how RP1 plus nivolumab expands the post–PD-1 treatment landscape.

Three themes

01

Predict better

MERLIN_001 provides prospective, blinded evidence on CP-GEP as a tool to refine sentinel-node risk assessment.

02

Appreciate the durability

CheckMate 067 at 10 years shows how long-term survival has become a defining feature of metastatic melanoma treatment.

03

Add an option after PD-1

RP1 plus nivolumab introduces a newly approved oncolytic-immunotherapy option for selected PD-1–refractory advanced melanoma.
