Abstract

A case report of an 80-year-old patient treated with encorafenib and binimetinib due to metastatic melanoma to
the brain, lungs, lymph nodes and subcutaneous tissue. Due to use of the latest forms of systemic therapy in
combination with local therapy, the patient obtained a definite clinical benefit from the therapy. The presented
data correlate with the results described in the literature.
