Abstract:
Recent advances in the development of innovative treatments for MM (metastatic melanoma) significantly improved survival. BRAF inhibitor-targeted therapies are also indicated in stage IV BRAF-mutant melanoma, especially dabrafenib and trametinib in combination. The authors present here an impressive rapid (1 month) complete metabolic response on FDG PET/CT to BRAF inhibitors of an MM with a massive tumor burden estimated at more than 10 kg.
