There is no standard of care for unresectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Chemotherapy, alone or combined with radiotherapy, commonly used mostly as palliative treatment; moreover, its poor safety profile limits use most the time, especially in elderly patients. Thus, alternative options are needed. Targeted molecular inhibitors, such epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor cetuximab, seem promising, but data limited. We retrospectively evaluated clinical outcomes cetuximab...

Background Despite significant progress with antiprogrammed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) therapy, a substantial fraction of metastatic melanoma patients show upfront therapy resistance. Biomarkers for outcome are missing and the association baseline immune function clinical remains to be determined. We assessed in vitro nonspecific stimulation response at during anti-PD-1 melanoma. Methods Previously untreated received nivolumab radiotherapy as part multicentric phase II trial NIRVANA (...

Testing for the BRAF mutation is mandatory management of patients with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma. Molecular analysis based on DNA sequencing remains gold-standard method screening different mutations. These methods must be rapid, sensitive, and specific enough to allow optimal therapeutic in daily practice also include clinical trials. Here, we compared Idylla Mutation Test anti-BRAF V600E (clone VE1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) 90 melanoma samples, a focus challenging cohort 32...

Despite the undeniable progress made with new therapies, notably targeted therapies (TT), and immunotherapies (Luke et al., 2017Luke J.J. Flaherty K.T. Ribas A. Long G.V. Targeted agents immunotherapies: optimizing outcomes in melanoma.Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2017; 14: 463-482Crossref PubMed Scopus (898) Google Scholar), prognosis of metastatic cutaneous melanoma remains poor. In patients BRAFV600 mutation, TT using BRAF inhibitors, now combination MEK inhibitors show dramatic results terms...

The outcome of patients with cutaneous melanoma has been strongly modified by recent advances obtained Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs). However, despite this breakthrough, durable response to ICIs is limited a subset patients. We investigated whether the expression TRF2, which preserves telomere integrity, and have an effect on tumor immunosurveillance notably directly recruiting activating myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), could be prognostic biomarker in relapsed or metastatic...

Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer, associated with high mortality. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated long‐lasting efficiency for treating advanced MCC. Despite good safety profile, ICI remain non‐negligible risk of immune‐related adverse events (irAEs), which may require treatment discontinuation if they are severe. We report the case complete response to Avelumab after rechallenge in patient metastatic MCC who became...
