Brain metastasis is a common and formidable challenge in patients with malignant melanoma. Although there have been no randomized controlled trials exclusively in patients with melanoma brain metastasis, care can be guided by the application of level I evidence for the treatment of brain metastasis in general and phase II studies focusing specifically on melanoma brain metastasis. Promising new agents and approaches are needed and will hopefully be identified in the near future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
