Abstract
Introduction: Advanced malignant melanoma is a very aggressive disease, historically with poor prognosis before the new advances with immunotherapy and targeted therapies that have changed the standard of care, especially in cutaneous melanoma. Peru has aggressive features such as higher rates of acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) subtype with historically shorter survival.
Methods: This study describes Peruvian patients with advanced melanoma treated with immunotherapy (nivolumab) in two oncological institutions (public and private), including the discussion of the impact on overall survival (OS) divided by subtype (with incidence in ALM histology) and potential biomarkers that could be related to prognosis.
Results: We found that immunotherapy is safe, and improves progression-free survival (PFS), OS and objective response rate (ORR) in our patients, with lower benefit in ALM histology. No prognostic blood inflammatory biomarkers were detected.
Discussion: There is very limited data of Peruvian patients with metastatic melanoma treated with immunotherapy, especially the outcomes in ALM histology. Our goal is to share an example of the impact of immunotherapy in a Latin American (LATAM) population considered as an unsatisfied group with an enormous need of novel treatments and biomarkers.
期刊介绍：
OncoTargets and Therapy is an international, peer-reviewed journal focusing on molecular aspects of cancer research, that is, the molecular diagnosis of and targeted molecular or precision therapy for all types of cancer.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of high-quality original research, basic science, reviews and evaluations, expert opinion and commentary that shed novel insight on a cancer or cancer subtype.
Specific topics covered by the journal include:
-Novel therapeutic targets and innovative agents
-Novel therapeutic regimens for improved benefit and/or decreased side effects
-Early stage clinical trials
Further considerations when submitting to OncoTargets and Therapy:
-Studies containing in vivo animal model data will be considered favorably.
-Tissue microarray analyses will not be considered except in cases where they are supported by comprehensive biological studies involving multiple cell lines.
-Biomarker association studies will be considered only when validated by comprehensive in vitro data and analysis of human tissue samples.
-Studies utilizing publicly available data (e.g. GWAS/TCGA/GEO etc.) should add to the body of knowledge about a specific disease or relevant phenotype and must be validated using the authors’ own data through replication in an independent sample set and functional follow-up.
-Bioinformatics studies must be validated using the authors’ own data through replication in an independent sample set and functional follow-up.
-Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) studies will not be considered.
