RESUMO
The outcomes of hepatectomy alone for liver metastasis derived from non-cutaneous melanoma are insufficient, and the outcomes of systemic therapy alone are also insufficient, even since the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We report the cases of three patients, in whom liver metastasis derived from non-cutaneous melanoma was treated with hepatectomy combined with ICI therapy, which was administered in various settings. One patient received ICI treatment for recurrent melanoma and survived 107 months after the first hepatectomy, one patient received both preoperative and adjuvant ICI treatment and has been disease-free for 27 months, and another patient received postoperative ICI treatment after reduction hepatectomy and has been alive with disease for 47 months. Since long-term survival is possible, hepatectomy combined with ICI therapy should be considered for the treatment of liver metastasis derived from non-cutaneous melanoma.
