Abstract

In the context of advanced BRAF-mutant melanoma, the treatment landscape has undergone a paradigm shift due to the impact of immune checkpoint inhibitors and BRAF/MEK inhibitors. This article presents three clinically illustrative melanoma cases that served as focal points for in-depth discussions during 12 expert meetings held across Spain. These include a treatment-naïve metastatic melanoma patient, a patient experiencing a recurrence while on anti-PD-1 adjuvant therapy, and a third patient whose melanoma relapsed ≥6 months after the end of adjuvant therapy. The discussions revolved around optimal treatment sequencing, emphasizing the challenges and alternatives discussed in each scenario. The common view aligned towards a nuanced approach that involves navigating the complexities of treatment choices. The conclusions underscore the need for personalized therapeutic strategies and highlight the ongoing challenge of refining real-life evidence-based algorithms for the management of metastatic BRAF-mutant melanoma.
