Neoadjuvant therapy for melanoma: new and evolving concepts.

Effective systemic therapies, including targeted BRAF/MEK inhibition and immune checkpoint blockade, have significantly changed the treatment landscape for malignant melanoma. Specifically, there have been promising clinical trial findings associated with the use of neoadjuvant therapy for clinically node-positive and oligometastatic disease, conditions that have historically been managed with up-front surgical resection when possible. This review focuses on the burgeoning field of neoadjuvant therapy for melanoma. We review the rationale for this treatment approach, summarize completed and ongoing neoadjuvant clinical trials, and contextualize these findings within the growing body of knowledge about targeted and immune checkpoint therapy. Finally, we discuss future directions for neoadjuvant trials in melanoma, with particular focus on biomarker development, treatment effect modification, novel therapeutic regimens, and evolving surgical indications for regional and oligometastatic disease.
