| Sumario: | Recent advances in melanoma treatment have supposed a dramatic transformation overcoming the situation that was faced 15 years ago, when advanced melanoma was a fatal disease, with less than five percent of patients being alive after 1 year of diagnosis.

In this chapter, we review those systemic and local treatments which are undergoing clinical development, explaining their mechanisms of action and the already presented either preliminary or final results, most of them in terms of response rate. |
