Abstract

Metastatic melanoma is frequently fatal. Optimal treatment regimens require both rapid and durable disease control, likely best achieved by combining targeted agents with immunotherapeutics. In order to accomplish this, a detailed understanding of the immune consequences of the kinase inhibitors used to treat melanoma is required.
