When Professor Richard Scolyer was diagnosed with incurable brain cancer he had a choice – prepare for the worst or put his hand up to be patient zero.
It’s a high stakes experiment, using the very treatment Scolyer and his colleagues have pioneered for melanoma.

Our collaborative international research has demonstrated that many

patients have long-term benefit on adjuvant combination targeted therapy, & it may be curative in most of those patients. Taking us closer to reaching our goal of zero deaths from melanoma this decade.
At 5 years of follow-up, the 12-month use of adjuvant therapy with dabrafenib (a BRAF inhibitor) plus trametinib (a MEK inhibitor) in patients with stage III melanoma with BRAF V600 mutations resulted in relapse-free survival of 52%, as compared with 36% with placebo.

Neoadjuvant therapy is the future for measurable stage III melanoma. More neoadjuvant trials opening
@MelanomaAus
to explore multiple combinations of drug therapy to achieve zero deaths from melanoma
Neoadjuvant therapy for stage III
#melanoma
is showing remarkable results- fabulous update from
@ProfGLongMIA
at the Post Chicago European melanoma/skin cancer update virtual meeting! Amazing what can be achieved when talented international multidisciplinary teams work together!

Immunotherapy has transformed melanoma treatment, but until now only 50% of advanced patients respond. This new drug is 3rd immune checkpoint inhibitor in toolkit, giving potential to save more lives from melanoma & will likely impact all cancer treatment.

We can’t be silent on the issue of sun safety. Clear scientific and medical evidence links UV damage with melanoma risk. Simple really.
Let’s not cloud the sun-safe issue
