Abstract

The standard of care of melanoma patients has evolved at a rapid pace with the advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors and BRAF and MEK inhibitors. ESMO guidelines were revised in September 2019 to integrate the results of recent studies that broaden the indication of these treatments to the adjuvant setting and validated new limitations to completion lymph node dissection in the case of a positive sentinel lymph node biopsy in locally advanced melanoma. We hereby detail the main novelties of the revised ESMO 2019 guidelines.
