Gino K. In, MD, MPH, on Non-UV Melanomas: Emerging Role of Intratumoral Immunotherapy

Posted: Tuesday, December 3, 2024

Gino K. In, MD, MPH, of the Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, USC Keck School of Medicine, briefly reviews the various types of melanomas not related to ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure and offers a glimpse at the burgeoning strategy of using intratumoral immunotherapy for these skin cancers.
