Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients of legal age with stage III, metastatic, or unresectable melanoma at first diagnosis after January 8, 2018. First diagnosis is understood as: a. Disease onset as metastatic or unresectable disease; b. First metastatic or unresectable relapse in the pre-established dates (after January 8, 2018) in a patient with previous localised melanoma and completely resected on dates before the pre-inclusion period.

Signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF).

A patient may have received the first or subsequent treatments for metastatic or unresectable disease in a hospital other than the centre where the ICF was signed, as long as the patient meets the inclusion criteria 1.

A patient can only sign one ICF (cannot sign an ICF in two different centres).

Disqualifiers

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Daily Clinical Practice

    Other intervention

    The assignment of a patient to a specific therapeutic strategy will not be decided in advance by the study protocol, but will be determined by the usual clinical practice of medicine, and the decision to prescribe a specific treatment will be clearly dissociated from the decision to include a patient in the study. No intervention will be applied to patients, either diagnostic or follow-up, other than the usual clinical practice.
