Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) clinical practice guideline on immunotherapy for the treatment of melanoma, version 3.0.

Since the first approval for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for the treatment of cutaneous melanoma more than a decade ago, immunotherapy has completely transformed the treatment landscape of this chemotherapy-resistant disease. Combination regimens including ICIs directed against programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) with anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) agents or, more recently, anti-lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) agents, have gained regulatory approvals for the treatment of metastatic cutaneous melanoma, with long-term follow-up data suggesting the possibility of cure for some patients with advanced disease. In the resectable setting, adjuvant ICIs prolong recurrence-free survival, and neoadjuvant strategies are an active area of investigation.

Uncovering and Addressing Implicit Bias in Oncology.

Implicit bias affects patient care every day, and not just in oncology. It impacts decision-making in already vulnerable populations such as the historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups, the LGBTQI+ population, patients with disabilities, and patients with low socioeconomic status or low health literacy. At JADPRO Live 2022 in Aurora, Colorado, panelists took a deep look at implicit bias and its impact on health inequities.
