    AbstractImproved understanding of melanoma genetics and immune regulatory pathways have culminated in the development of targeted and immunotherapies of the patients with metastatic melanoma. Recent advances in these oncological modalities have dramatically shifted this landscape with highly increased survival rates. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 and programmed death-1 based treatments (ipilimumab, nivolumab and pembrolizumab) have been an integral part of this therapeutic success. Nowadays the combined immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies have demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival of patients with advanced melanoma. This review summarizes briefly the most important updated principals of this field in dermato-oncology.
