Abstract
The standard of care for patients with resectable stage III/IV melanoma classically included upfront resection with adjuvant therapy. However, in more recent years, the amount of systemic therapies available for neoadjuvant use for these patients has increased. This article reviewed clinical trials investigating neoadjuvant therapy for patients with resectable stage III/IV melanoma. The outcomes of these trials have identified optimal treatment regimens to maximise patient response and minimize toxicities. Additionally, the date demonstrate advantages to neoadjuvant treatment compared to adjuvant therapy alone. Further research is needed to utilize a patient's response to neoadjuvant treatment for prognostication and creation of an individualized treatment plan.
