Metastatic Melanoma: 5-year survival rates may soon reach 60%

Prof. Claus Garbe
Head of the Division of Dermatooncology
Eberhard Karls University, Tuebingen (Germany)

At the beginning of this decade, the average survival of patients with metastatic melanoma was 7 months and the 5-year rate was 3%. Thanks to the introduction of new drugs such as Vemurafenib and Ipilimumab, the survival rate rose to 20% and now, with PD-1 and CTLA-4 antibodies and combined targeted treatments based on BRAF and MEK inhibitors, survival is 40-50% . Prof. Garbe explains why a 5-year rate of 60-70% could be achieved in the near future.

At the Euretina congress, Prof. John Marshall, who developed the clinical use of 2RT laser in macular degeneration, presented the results of a clinical trial whose purpose is to determine whether 2RT nanosecond laser therapy slows the progression to advanced age-related macular degeneration.

What is needed to win the battle against cancer

Prof. Franco Cavalli
Scientific Director, Oncology Institute of Southern Switzerland, S. Giovanni Hospital Bellinzona, CH

Can the battle against cancer be lost? From a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view, the progress made in recent years has been irrefutable. The outlook is less rosy when considering the global mortality rate, in the light of the distribution of the most effective and advanced resources used to fight the disease. 75% of anticancer drugs are consumed in Europe, North America and Japan, while as many as 30 other countries in the world do not even have a single radiotherapy device.
