Abstract

Patients with metastatic melanoma still experience poor prognosis despite the recent approval of new therapeutic agents. It is therefore essential to continue searching for new therapeutic targets and approaches. In recent year, studies have suggested that the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) could be a potential therapeutic target in metastatic melanoma. Animal studies have shown that blocking RAGE with targeted antibodies could reduce tumor growth and metastases formation. We will discuss here evidence suggesting that RAGE and its ligands contribute significantly to metastatic melanoma and that blocking RAGE activation could be a valid approach for treating this disease.
