Representative Works 代表性著作
Adjuvant Ipilimumab versus Placebo after Complete Resection of High-Risk Stage III Melanoma (EORTC 18071)
New England Journal of Medicine (2015)
Established adjuvant ipilimumab as first immune checkpoint inhibitor to improve recurrence-free survival in resected high-risk melanoma.
Pembrolizumab versus Placebo as Adjuvant Therapy in Resected Stage III Melanoma (EORTC 1325)
New England Journal of Medicine (2018)
Demonstrated superior recurrence-free survival with adjuvant pembrolizumab over placebo, supporting its FDA approval in the adjuvant setting.
Ulceration and Stage Are Predictive of Interferon Efficacy in Melanoma
Journal of Clinical Oncology (2012)
Identified tumor ulceration as a biomarker predicting interferon adjuvant benefit, enabling patient selection for melanoma adjuvant treatment.
