Improving targeted immune treatments for melanoma by combining personalized cancer vaccines with detailed biomarker analysis

Updated

Abstract

Cutaneous melanoma is associated with multifactorial resistance that complicates the effectiveness of standard immune therapies.

  • Precision immuno-oncology may enhance treatment efficacy by integrating personalized neoantigen-directed vaccines with multi-omics profiling.
  • Bespoke vaccines target patient-specific mutations, potentially leading to strong T-cell responses with less off-target toxicity.
  • Advanced vaccine platforms, including mRNA and engineered exosome systems, could transform treatment in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings.
  • A robust multi-omics ecosystem may help characterize the melanoma tumor microenvironment, informing adaptive clinical management.
  • The combination of personalized vaccines with immune checkpoint inhibitors and MAPK pathway inhibitors could help overcome resistance barriers.
