In recent years, melanoma has become a poster-child for the development of oncogene-directed targeted therapies. This approach, which has been exemplified by the development of small-molecule BRAF inhibitors and the BRAF/MEK inhibitor combination for BRAF-mutant melanoma, has brought new hope to patients. Despite these successes, treatment failure seems near inevitable in the majority of cases—even in individuals treated with the BRAF/MEK inhibitor doublet. In the current review, we discuss the future of combination strategies for patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma as well as the emerging therapeutic options for patients with NRAS-mutant and BRAF/NRAS-wild-type melanoma. We also outline some of the newest developments in the in-depth personalisation of therapy that should allow melanoma treatment to continue shaping the field precision cancer medicine.
近年来,黑色素瘤已成为癌基因导向的靶向治疗发展的典型代表。这种方法,以小分子BRAF抑制剂以及用于BRAF突变型黑色素瘤的BRAF/MEK抑制剂联合疗法的发展为例证,给患者带来了新的希望。尽管取得了这些成功,但在大多数情况下,治疗失败似乎几乎不可避免——即使是接受BRAF/MEK抑制剂双联疗法治疗的患者也是如此。在当前的综述中,我们讨论了BRAF突变型黑色素瘤患者联合治疗策略的未来,以及NRAS突变型和BRAF/NRAS野生型黑色素瘤患者新出现的治疗选择。我们还概述了治疗深度个体化方面的一些最新进展,这些进展应能使黑色素瘤治疗继续引领精准癌症医学领域的发展。
