Ryan J. Sullivan, MD, assistant professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School, assistant professor of hematology/oncology, Massachusetts General Hospital, discusses the role of checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment landscape for patients with melanoma.

Over the last decade, patients with both adjuvant and metastatic melanoma have had limited options until the last decade when immune checkpoint inhibitors were introduced to this space, says Sullivan. These advances include the approval of ipilimumab (Yervoy), nivolumab (Opdivo), and pembrolizumab (Keytruda), among others.
