From the author: The different melanoma vaccines under investigation in multicenter phase III trials are reviewed and the concept of chemoprevention in melanoma is discussed. A retrospective review of the literature is presented. Studies included those ongoing or recently published phase III melanoma vaccine trials and current data on chemoprevention of melanoma. The referenced study designs and methodologies varied. Vaccine therapy of melanoma remains promising, given the associated low toxicity. Chemoprevention of melanoma is an unexplored and promising strategy. Well-designed trials in high-risk individuals, incorporating intermediate biologic endpoints, are necessary.
