Image‐based response assessment during immunotherapy in skin cancer

Abstract: Immune-checkpoint inhibitors and further immunotherapeutic treatment strategies have significantly extended therapy options for melanoma and other skin cancer entities over the last decade. In the context of a broader application of immunotherapeutic approaches, sufficient ways to monitor the course of the disease during therapy are required. Immunotherapies are based on different ways of modulating the immune system. This leads to complex clinical response patterns including pseudoprogression and others, requ… Show more

While pseudo-progression can be a concerning phenomenon, the clinical evaluation of the patient should be considered when deciding to continue with immunotherapy or to change to an alternative therapy.…”
