treatment of malignant melanoma with immunotherapy drubs

Describe why this topic is important.

I was treated with Ipilumibib and only got significant side effect no delay in progression of the disease. Had I known the statistics on the incidence of a person getting the side effects I may have chosen not to take the drug. Now I have TWO significant conditions.

How will an answer to your research question be used or help inform decisions for you or your group?

I will have a guide for next treatment options.
