Finding out that you have cutaneous melanoma (also called cutaneous malignant melanoma) can be upsetting and frightening, but getting your treatment plan in place can help restore a sense of confidence and calm. Your doctor will discuss your cutaneous melanoma treatment options, and the right one for you will depend on a variety of factors, including your age, overall health, and the results of certain tests. When cutaneous melanoma is detected early, it can usually be surgically removed, with no other treatment necessary. However, if imaging tests indicate that the malignancy has spread to distant organs or lymph nodes (called metastatic cutaneous melanoma or metastatic malignant melanoma), surgical removal of all the cancer isn’t possible. Patients with inoperable melanoma (also called unresectable melanoma) require systemic treatment, which seeks out and kills cancer cells throughout the body.
Until recently, the main form of systemic therapy for metastatic cutaneous melanoma was chemotherapy. However, there have been two melanoma treatment breakthroughs in recent years. First, a new class of drugs called targeted therapies has become available as a metastatic cutaneous melanoma treatment. These drugs are designed to identify and attack cancer cells that have certain genetic mutations. Likewise, immunotherapy is a form of treatment that bolsters the body’s natural defense network to help it kill cancer cells. Scientists are currently studying other new medicines for treating metastatic cutaneous melanoma in clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a research study in which scientists evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new medical treatments. That includes new drugs or novel combinations of drugs for treating cutaneous melanoma and other forms of melanoma. Every drug approved by regulators such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency had to be tested first in clinical trials.

Cancer is an unfortunate reality that touches most of us at some point in our lives. If you or a loved one has cancer, you may have heard or read that clinical trials could offer access to innovative new treatments. But what exactly is a clinical trial? In this video, Massive Bio co-founder Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla, MD, explains how clinical trials work, what to expect if you enroll in one, and why a clinical trial can be an important treatment option for many cancer patients.
We dream of the day when cancer disappears from our lives. Massive Bio is working tirelessly on achieving that goal.
Massive Bio has gone above and beyond to connect my family with the right care during Covid-19. I really appreciate their staff’s consistent and clear outreach during this process.
They have a really responsive and hard-working team. It’s a great way to explore clinical cancer trials and find alternative treatments.
Massive Bio helped me understand the importance and benefits of clinical trials, then found personalized matches using an AI database and recommended a nearby trial to enroll in. Their customer service was helpful in answering any questions about the services and process.
My father used the Virtual Tumor Board to get another treatment recommendation. The report was detailed, and the staff answered all our questions. I definitely recommend their services.
I have recommended this to colleagues for patients that could benefit from clinical trials or have exhausted their treatment options and need a second opinion. Massive Bio’s team puts great minds together to find better solutions for patients that might think they have none left.
Massive Bio’s team is amazing. They work tirelessly to help patients and providers. This company truly cares about the work they are doing and the care they are delivering.
