Melanoma Treatment in Kharkiv — Immunotherapy and Modern Approaches
Melanoma treatment has made a major breakthrough in recent years. Today, immunotherapy and targeted therapy have taken the leading role instead of traditional chemotherapy, offering far more precise and effective results. At the Brigid Medical Center in Kharkiv, we select treatment based on genetic analysis of the tumor, allowing us to target the disease at any stage.
Advantages of Melanoma Treatment at the Brigid Medical Center
Genetic testing
We test the tumor for mutations (BRAF, NRAS, c-KIT) to identify its “weak point” and select individualized therapy.
Accurate staging
We use sentinel lymph node biopsy and modern CT/MRI to precisely determine the extent of disease.
Multidisciplinary approach
Your treatment is managed jointly by oncologic surgeons, medical oncologists, and dermatologists.
Latest-generation medications
We use advanced immunotherapy that trains your immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells.
Treatment monitoring
We continuously monitor the skin and internal organs to respond promptly to any changes.
Supportive care
We educate patients on sun protection and help them tolerate treatment as comfortably as possible.
Modern treatment options for melanoma
Depending on the stage and genetic test results, we offer the following approaches:
- Immunotherapy: the gold standard that activates the patient’s immune cells to fight melanoma.
- Targeted therapy: “smart” oral medications that act only on cells with specific mutations (e.g., BRAF), stopping tumor growth.
- Adjuvant (preventive) therapy: treatment after tumor removal to reduce the risk of recurrence.
- Local therapy (T-VEC): injection of a specialized agent directly into cutaneous lesions.
- Chemotherapy: used rarely, only when modern targeted and immune-based therapies are not suitable.
When is systemic treatment indicated?
Clinical situations requiring systemic therapy:
- Melanoma with a high risk of recurrence (tumor thickness over 2–4 mm or presence of ulceration).
- Detection of melanoma cells in lymph nodes (stage III).
- Development of metastases in internal organs (stage IV).
- Inoperable tumors.
- Rapid disease progression after previous surgical treatment.
Genetic classification is the key to success:
We always test the tumor for mutations. If present, targeted therapies can be prescribed and often provide rapid responses even in cases with a high tumor burden.
How is treatment carried out at the Brigid Medical Center?
We aim to ensure that treatment is not only effective but also safe:
- Comfortable conditions: medications are administered in a modern inpatient setting under physician supervision.
- Side effect management: we know how to control immune-related reactions so you feel well during therapy.
- Regular monitoring: follow-up using ultrasound, CT, or MRI at every stage of treatment.
- Psychological support: care and guidance for patients and their families.
