        Thanks for your advices. Are you certain that it is not possible to take BRAF inhibitors again if we take it as an adjuvant therapy ?

          Thank you very much for the links. Very interesting… which makes the decision even harder !
          I also found a recent study that seems to conclude that Pembro is better compared to targeted therapy and other adjuvant therapies.
          My doctors would prefer to give me targeted therapy, but even if this option might be efficient for the first months, I have the feeling that this treatment does not work during long-term. Many stage 4 had to stop and switch to immuno after some first good results, but I am not sure it is also the case for stage 3.

            Merci beaucoup. Heureux pour toi que tu n’aies pas trop d’effets secondaires, j’espère que tes prochains examens montreront l’efficacité de l’immuno. Tu en as pour un an de traitement ?
            De mon côté, les médecins ont l’air de plutôt pencher pour la thérapie ciblée. Néanmoins, je me pose beaucoup de questions vu la résistance acquise que l’on observe à stade 4. J’ai peur qu’il s’agisse d’un traitement à court terme…

              Hello, thanks for your answer. I forgot to tell that I was Braf+. That is why my doctors consider to give me this treatment. But I was wondering if immunotherapy was not a better adjuvant therapy, as it looks like to be more efficient for stage 4 patients.
