Abstract:
The treatment of malignant melanoma has changed beyond recognition in the last 7 years. Where previously single agent dacarbazine was often the only treatment used for advanced disease, now there are potentially multiple lines of treatment, based on immunotherapy and targeted treatment options, either as monotherapy or in combination. In this brave new world the question arises, does chemotherapy still have any relevance in the modern management of melanoma? In this review, we summarize the various chemotherapeutic options that have been trialled in melanoma to date, and discuss the role chemotherapy may still play in treating melanoma, potentially in combination with more novel agents, or in certain subtypes of melanoma.
