Chinese thoracic oncology centers have growing expertise due to historical asbestos exposure cases, with access to clinical trials for novel treatments including checkpoint inhibitors. Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) is available at select specialized centers.

Melanoma Treatment

黑色素瘤治疗

Melanoma treatment in China utilizes wide local excision with sentinel lymph node biopsy for early stages, and immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitors like toripalimab and sintilimab) combined with targeted therapy (BRAF/MEK inhibitors) for advanced disease. Chinese dermatologic oncology centers have developed expertise in acral and mucosal melanoma subtypes that are more prevalent in Asian populations. Domestically produced checkpoint inhibitors offer effective treatment at substantially lower costs.
