Alexander J. Stratigos, MD, University of Athens Medical School, discusses prevention techniques for melanoma.
Primary prevention is an approach that aims to reduce the exposure of UV radiation on human skin. The primary goals are to reduce the exposure through the use of sunscreen and protective clothing, explains Stratigos.
There is also prevention that aims to protect vulnerable populations such as children or outdoor workers. According to Stratigos, it is important for physicians to understand the early clues of skin cancer to better educate their patients on the importance of prevention.

The IL-12–expressing self-replicating mRNA STX-001 showed a favorable therapeutic window at 100 µg, with regression in both injected and non-injected lesions.

Most of the survival time accrued with RP1 plus nivolumab in the IGNYTE trial was spent in good health among patients with advanced melanoma after anti–PD-1 therapy.

VET3-TGI produced responses in injected and non-injected lesions without dose-limiting toxicities in the phase 1/1b STEALTH-001 trial.

EVX-01 plus pembrolizumab generated sustained neoantigen-specific T-cell responses in advanced melanoma.

Rocbrutinib plus chemoimmunotherapy led to complete responses in patients with untreated B-cell lymphomas.

Many patients with BRAF-altered pediatric low-grade glioma stayed off therapy after planned tovorafenib cessation in the 4-year FIREFLY-1 update.
