LONDON, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- There are only two FDA/EMEA approved drugs currently available for treating advanced melanoma. The available drugs, however, are not completely effective and have adverse effects. Unmet needs of patients, especially those with advanced melanoma are therefore quite high and have led to a low drug adoption and market growth over the years. The future looks brighter though, with a few promising drugs in pipeline for advanced melanoma.
