Abstract

Melanoma skin cancer is an aggressive tumour with an increasing incidence. In recent years, the treatment options for the advanced disease have expanded dramatically with the employment of targeted therapy and the immunotherapy. However, the high rate of non-response, the toxicity, and the induced drug resistance remain unmet clinical problems. Scientists are expecting a further advance with the application of nanotechnology in melanoma treatment and diagnosis. In this review, we present an up-date on the latest pre-clinical studies (2015- 2016) on nanomedicine with potential use in the clinical management of this disease.
