Tratamento de melanoma avançado – Um panorama em
transformação
Após décadas de ostracismo, os recentes avanços no trata-
mento do melanoma trouxeram uma nova realidade para
pacientes, médicos e pesquisadores. Enquanto anticorpos
monoclonais voltados a moléculas envolvidas na modula-
ção da interação entre células do melanoma e do sistema
imune consolidaram o uso da “imunoterapia”, ummelhor
conhecimento acerca das aberrações genômicas envolvidas
na carcinogênese do melanoma viabilizaram o desenvolvi-
mento de inibidores da via
mitogen-activated protein kinase
pathway
(MAPK), o que também resultou em ganhos signi-
ficativos em taxas de resposta e sobrevida. Consequente-
mente, novas modalidades de tratamento foram aprovadas
para uso clínico nos Estados Unidos e na Europa, incluin-
do os bloqueadores de correceptores imunes ipilimumabe,
nivolumabe e pembrolizumabe, o herpesvírus oncolítico
talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC), e os agentes-alvo vemu-
rafenibe, dabrafenibe, cobimetinibe e trametinibe. Nesse
artigo, revisamos os resultados que trouxeram novas alter-
nativas para a prática clínica e discutimos a incorporação
desses avanços ao cuidado de pacientes no Brasil.
