Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effectiveness of monoclonal antibodies (ipilimumab, nivolumab, and pembrolizumab) versus traditional chemotherapy for treating advanced melanoma, analyzing five eligible articles.
- Despite significant heterogeneity affecting the overall survival results, chemotherapy showed a notable advantage in 24-month overall survival rates.
- Due to the high cost of monoclonal antibodies and varying results among studies, there is limited evidence supporting their widespread use over conventional therapies in public health systems, especially in low and middle-income countries.
