3D TELEDERM NETWORK INNOVATIVE SURVEILLANCE EARLY INTERVENTION O to the intense biological research into late-stage, metastatic melanoma, with therapies targeting melanoma metastases and improving an individual’s immune response to the disease. This has led to an improvement in progression-free and overall survival in a group of patients who would have previously been treated with drugs that had little effect. Intense research and clinical trials continue with the aim of identifying patients most likely to respond, as well as exploring new combinations of therapies with this new paradigm for melanoma treatment.
