Type I BRAF inhibitors and immunotherapy constitute two new exciting approaches for the
treatment of advanced malignant melanoma. We have recently elucidated a role for host CC
chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) in the antineoplastic effects of type I BRAF inhibitors in
mice, supporting the therapeutic potential of combining BRAF inhibitors with
immunotherapy.
