A single-center retrospective analysis of prognoses in patients with melanoma brain metastases and effectiveness of treatment in Japan.

Background: Melanoma brain metastasis (MBM) has a poor prognosis, although recent treatments, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapy, have improved the prognosis. However, these systemic therapies have been reported to be less efficient for Asian patients. We investigated the survival of Asian patients with MBM and the effectiveness of systemic therapies.
