Malignant Melanoma | Current Treatment: Physician Insights | EU5 | 2016

Malignant melanoma requires a multidisciplinary treatment approach that incorporates surgery, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and small molecule-targeted therapies. Treatment decisions are influenced by disease stage, resectability, and in the unresectable or metastatic setting, BRAF-mutation status.
