New video (episode 13) in OncLive's melanoma series:
Of great personal interest to me, because I've been at this particular game of "whack-a-mole" (pun intended) for awhile… following IL-2 and TIL, I've had several surgeries (two to leg bones, one craniotomy) to resect single mets that for whatever reason didn't respond (the bone mets) or ocurred long after systemic treatment (the brain met, 2+ years after TIL). The approach has worked for me thus far, using systemic immunotherapies early on and addressing single mets as they've occurred with either surgery or radiation (or both), keeping the newer systemic agents available should the need arise.
