Abstract
The 2018 ASCO Annual Meeting provided a closer look on the details of studies already presented. In melanoma, the interest was on neoadjuvant treatment options with high pathological response rates as well as updates on large phase III studies in stage IV disease. Further new targets were discussed focusing on additional drugs to a PD-1 backbone treatment. Another focus was on Merkel cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinomas, giving new data on PD-1 antibody treatments as well as on vismodegib as neoadjuvant therapy.
