Targeted Therapy for Melanoma
Targeted Therapy Melanoma: About this Treatment
Types of Targeted Therapy
New types of targeted therapy are under development. Types that are available for melanoma so far include MAP kinase inhibitors:
- BRAF inhibitors
- MEK inhibitors (almost always given in combination with BRAF inhibitors)
Depending on the type and stage of melanoma you have, you may need one or more types of drug therapy; combinations of targeted therapy and immunotherapy agents are being studied for melanoma.
Our Clinics
The Stanford Skin Cancer Program doctors are leaders in treating both melanoma and non-melanoma cancers.
