Surgery represents the primary treatment modality. Chemotherapy may be ineffective, but checkpoint inhibitors and BRAF and MEK inhibitors have been recently tested in vaginal melanomas. Less than 10% of vaginal melanomas have BRAF-mutations. Therefore BRAF-inhibitors play only a minor role in vaginal melanomas (unlike in skin melanomas). However, a recent study has shown that checkpoint inhibitors (inkluding CTLA-4 inhibitors and PD-1 inhibitors) are effective in the treatment of advanced vulvovaginal melanomas.
