Melanoma is a highly malignant tumor that develops from a neural crest derivative called melanocytes. Chemotherapy is recommended for patients with stage III/IV melanoma. Immunomodulation has also been shown to effectively improve the survival rate of such patients. In the current study, we aimed to perform a network meta-analysis on the therapeutic value of chemotherapy and immunotherapy on melanoma.
