Neoadjuvant immune-checkpoint inhibition is a promising emerging treatment strategy that potentially enables patients with a good response to initial therapy to avoid further treatment and the associated toxicity risks, while also identifying those who might require treatment escalation. In this Review, the authors describe treatment personalization strategies based on the initial response to one or more neoadjuvant immune-checkpoint inhibitors and consider the potential to expand this approach beyond patients with melanoma.
