Real-world frequency of BRAF testing and utilization of therapies in patients with advanced melanoma

Both BRAF/MEK targeted agents and immunotherapy are approved for the treatment of advanced melanoma. BRAF testing is recommended at the time of advanced melanoma diagnosis. In addition, little is known regarding the treatment trends for patients with BRAF mutated tumors. This investigation aims to assess the real-world prevalence of molecular testing...

Recombinant human Hsp110-gp100 chaperone complex vaccine is nontoxic and induces response in advanced stage melanoma patients

Heat shock proteins (hsp) are intracellular chaperones that possess extracellular immunostimulatory properties when complexed with antigens. A recombinant Hsp110-gp100 chaperone complex vaccine showed an antitumor response and prolonged survival in murine melanoma. A phase Ib dose-escalation study of a recombinant human Hsp110-gp100 vaccine in advanced-stage...

Improved cutaneous melanoma survival stratification through integration of 31-gene expression profile testing with the American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th Edition Staging

Cutaneous melanoma (CM) survival is assessed using averaged data from the American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th edition (AJCC8). However, subsets of AJCC8 stages I–III have better or worse survival than the predicted average value. The objective of this study was to determine if the 31-gene expression profile (31-GEP) test for CM can further risk-stratify...
