Abstract

Melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer, with a very poor prognosis in advanced stages. Availabletreatments for melanoma, including immunotherapy or inhibitors for BRAF-MEK1/2, have greatlyimproved the survival for this disease although they are not applicable to all patients and/or their longtermbenefits are still unsatisfactory. As a member of Mitogen-Activated Protein kinase family, ERK5could play a relevant role in melanoma regulating cell functions critical for tumor development, such asproliferation, invasion and angiogenesis.
