Melanoma: A Patient’s Guide
What Is Combination Or Sequential Therapy?

Combination or sequential therapy is the use of chemotherapy and biologic therapy together to treat melanoma. This is also called chemoimmunotherapy. Combinations may be more effective than either treatment alone. It is thought to work because the chemotherapy kills the melanoma directly, allowing the biologic therapy to continue this process by stimulating the immune system to continue to attack the melanoma cells.

Investigations are still going on to learn the best way to administer these therapies.
