Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adjuvant therapy and neoadjuvant therapy are two types of treatment used for melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Adjuvant therapy is used after primary treatment, such as surgery, to prevent the cancer from returning. It may involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy. Neoadjuvant therapy, on the other hand, is used before primary treatment in order to shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove. This may involve the same types of treatment as adjuvant therapy. Both adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies have shown promising results in improving survival rates for patients with melanoma. This special issue will highlight clinical research on therapeutic strategies in melanoma.
