​@Matthouin Matt have you looked at Coimbra protocol?

Do you have access to morphine or similar analgesic where you're living?

I disagree. Patients with fast-growing BRAF positive tumours might have not have the time to respond to Ipilimumab and anti-PD1 antibodies are currently not readily available first-line. IL-2 is not widely used in Europe and comes with an undesirable side effect profile. The therapeutical approach therefore needs to be tailored to the specific patient's situation and an initial salvage therapy with BRAF/MEK inhibition might provide a much better starting point for immunotherapy- giving a patient the chance to profit from the latter's long-term benefits. We need smart, undogmatic approaches how to play to the strengths of the different therapeutical groups and how to mitigate their shortcomings- like the onset of resistance with targeted therapy and the lag until first benefit associated with immunotherapies. Melanoma has the dubious honour of being one the most heterogeneous and genetically instable cancers making one-size-fits-all therapeutical approaches very unlikely to work.
