Advanced skin carcinomas are a serious therapeutic problem. The statistical analysis shows a continuous increase in the incidence of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Traditional therapies are characterized by low effectiveness and patients overall survival is not affected by them. By understanding the molecular pathways that lead to the neoplastic transformation and thanks to the knowledge of the immune system, it is possible to use personalized medicine in novel therapies for advanced skin carcinomas.
晚期皮肤癌是一个严重的治疗难题。统计分析表明,黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的发病率都在持续上升。传统疗法的特点是疗效不佳,对患者的总体生存率没有影响。通过了解导致肿瘤转化的分子途径,并借助对免疫系统的认识,有可能在晚期皮肤癌的新型疗法中使用个性化医疗。
