Study reports that alcohol, particularly white wine, consumption may be associated with higher risk for melanoma.
An investigational immunotherapeutic was safe, tolerable, and showed some activity against melanoma in a phase I clinical trial.
The FDA approved a combination of molecularly targeted therapies for treating certain patients with melanoma.
A first-of-its kind immunotherapeutic has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of melanoma lesions in the skin and lymph nodes.
