title: [Drug clinics. How I treat cutaneous melanoma].
abstract: Skin melanoma is one of the rare cancers whose prevalence has increased over the past decades. Its treatment is based on a classification into four anatomoclinical stages. Surgical excision is the mainstay of therapy. However, several protocols of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy also have specific indications in the therapeutic or palliative approach to the disease.
