ABSTRACT = {Over the past decade, the therapeutic paradigm of cutaneous melanoma has been transformed strongly, driven by advances in immuno-oncology and precision medicine. Building on the success of immune checkpoint blockade and targeted therapy, new treatment strategies now aim to improve efficacy, overcome resistance, and prolong the durability of responses. Clinical trials on neoadjuvant therapy supporting its clinical use are presented. Furthermore, the latest progress in combinatorial immune checkpoint inhibition such as dual anti-LAG-3 or anti-TIGIT with anti-PD-1 blockade, next-generation bispecific antibody development, mRNA-based vaccines in clinical practice, and intralesional therapies are summarized. Additionally, it outlines the growing significance of novel cellular approaches, such as adoptive cell therapy with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) or engineered T cells. By integrating insights from recent clinical and translational research, the review highlights promising therapeutic avenues and with treatment sequencing and biomarker research, it outlines key challenges for future melanoma management. This review aims to summarize selected ongoing clinical studies and outline prospective directions in systemic melanoma therapy.},
