Description

Markus Reitmajer and fifteen co-authors survey life after melanoma treatment in a 2026 paper. Modern immune drugs have transformed survival in advanced melanoma, with many patients now living past ten years. Long survival brings a new agenda: the lasting costs of cure.

Chronic immune side effects can persist after treatment ends or appear late. Some, like hormone gland damage, demand lifelong replacement therapy. Survivors also face money strain, work disruption, and family planning worries. The authors gather these physical, mental, and social burdens in one review. Their point is that survivorship care must now be planned from the start. Follow-up clinics need structures for late effects, not just scans for recurrence.
