  • 1

    Melanoma is a highly aggressive skin cancer with poor prognosis in advanced stages.

  • 2

    Immune checkpoint inhibitors like PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockers face challenges such as heterogeneous responses and immune-related toxicities.

  • 3

    Ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis are novel regulated cell death mechanisms that can remodel the tumor immune microenvironment.

  • 4

    These immunogenic cell death pathways are promising targets to enhance the efficacy of melanoma immunotherapy.

  • 5

    Emerging strategies aim to selectively induce these regulated cell death modalities to improve clinical outcomes in melanoma.
