Nurullah İlhan, Associate Professor of Medical Oncology/Sancaktepe Şehit Prof. Dr. İlhan Varank Training and Research Hospital, Founder and Head of Medical Oncology Clinic, shared Andrea Boutros’s, Assistant Professor at University of Genoa, post on X, adding:
“Thoughtful summary Andrea Boutros — this slide captures the key momentum in melanoma and skin cancers at ASCO 26 very well.
Particularly striking are the sustained 5-year benefits with the personalized mRNA vaccine (intismeran plus pembrolizumab) showing durable reductions in recurrence and distant metastasis, alongside the advancing neoadjuvant triplet approaches and promising next-gen cell therapies like engineered TIL and PRAME-targeted TCR-T.
These developments point toward increasingly personalized and effective strategies in both resectable and advanced disease. Looking forward to seeing how these mature and translate into practice over the coming years.”
