Immunotherapy for Melanoma

Immunotherapy has revolutionized melanoma treatment by leveraging the immune system to target tumor cells, with recent advances focusing on modulating the tumor microenvironment and enhancing immune surveillance. The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1/PD-L1, CTLA-4, and LAG-3 has significantly improved clinical outcomes by reactivating T-cell responses against melanoma. Additionally, emerging therapies such as oncolytic virus therapy, STING and TLR-7/8 agonists, and fecal microbiota transplantation are being explored to overcome resistance and further enhance anti-tumor immunity, marking a transformative era in melanoma management.
