Abstract:
Skin cancers represent a major public health problem. Cutaneous melanoma, the incidence of which is constantly increasing, has the particularity of metastasising when it is detected too late. Its treatment at the metastatic stage has evolved significantly over recent years with the arrival of targeted therapies and immunotherapies which can increase patients' survival.

Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.
