From 1976 to 2010, only 2 medications were approved for treating metastatic
melanoma. Between 2011 and 2013, 4 agents were approved and other therapies have
shown great promise in clinical trials. Fundamental discoveries, such as the
identification of oncogenic mutations in most melanomas, the elucidation of the
molecular signaling resulting from these mutations, and the revelation that
several cell surface molecules serve as regulators of immune activation, have
been instrumental in this progress. This article summarizes the molecular
pathogenesis of melanoma, describes the current efforts to target oncogene-driven
signaling, and presents the rationale for combining immune and molecular
targeting.
