Neoadjuvant immunotherapy: Revolutionising melanoma treatment


Listen Later

Our latest podcast explores the innovative approach of neoadjuvant  immunotherapy - administering checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy before the surgical removal of  melanoma. This promising approach is creating a buzz among multidisciplinary clinicians and researchers globally as the potential  benefits for melanoma patients are being realised.

Although neoadjuvant therapy is well established in oncology, using immunotherapy in melanoma has revolutionised patient outcomes through significant improvements in overall survival rates.

In this engaging podcast, MIA’s Prof Georgina Long AO leads a discussion with multidisciplinary world leaders in the neoadjuvant space to discuss:

  • the benefits of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy
  • the role of the pathologist in the assessment of neoadjuvant tissue
  • the impact of surgical decision-making as neoadjuvant becomes mainstay treatment
  • options for treatment-refractory patients
  • the role of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy in non-melanoma skin cancer.
  • The discussion concludes with case studies to summarise key learnings.

    This podcast is suitable for Medical Oncologists, Oncologists,  Surgeons, Pathologists, Dermatologists, GPs, Oncology Nurses and other  healthcare professionals.
