As data from controlled trials are based on selected populations, we investigated adjuvantly treated stage III melanoma patients under real-world conditions.In a prior multicenter cohort study, stage III-IV melanoma patients were analysed for their choice of adjuvant therapy. In this follow-up study, we examined RFS, overall and melanoma-specific survival (MSS) and response to the subsequent treatment of 589 stage III patients (232 BRAF-mutated) receiving adjuvant PD-1 inhibitors (PD1; n = 479) or targeted therapy (TT; n = 110).The median follow-up of the total cohort was 25.7 months. The main reason for premature discontinuation of adjuvant therapy was disease progression in PD1- (28.8 %K Adjuvant treatment (Other) %K BRAF (Other) %K Immunotherapy (Other) %K Melanoma (Other) %K PD1 (Other) %K Real-world (Other) %K Targeted therapy (Other) %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %$ pmid:37487400 %R 10.1016/j.ejca.2023.112957 %U https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/277779
