Title:

Disease Recurrence during Adjuvant Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Treatment in Metastatic Melanoma: Clinical, Laboratory, and Radiological Characteristics in Patients from a Single Tertiary Referral Center

Published date:
09/14/2022
Excerpt:
CONTRADICTING EVIDENCE: Thus, we retrospectively analyzed the case records of all patients who commenced adjuvant ICI therapy...Seven of those patients were treated with nivolumab, and five were treated with pembrolizumab. All patients had cutaneous melanoma....Interestingly, patients with NRAS mutations were disproportionately represented (60%) in the patients who developed disease recurrence, suggesting that these patients should be closely monitored during adjuvant therapy.

Title:

Clinical, histological and molecular predictors of metastatic melanoma responses to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy

Excerpt:
Better objective response rates were associated with metachronous metastases (P = 0.04), PD-L1 tumour- and/or immune-cell status (P = 0.01), CD163+ histiocytes at advancing edges (P = 0.009) of primary melanomas and NRAS mutation (P = 0.019)....Pembrolizumab was given to 72.9% of the patients and nivolumab to 27.1%.
