Abstract
High-dose interferon is the current standard of care for the adjuvant treatment of high-risk cutaneous melanoma. Despite numerous clinical trials using interferon in a variety of doses and schedules, none have demonstrated a meaningful clinical improvement relative to standard high-dose interferon. Recently however, a phase III trial using biochemotherapy demonstrated a superior relapse-free survival benefit over standard interferon. In addition, several agents approved for use in metastatic melanoma are being investigated in the adjuvant setting.Entities:
