In particular, the programmed death 1 (PD-1) checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab demonstrated efficacy in two phase 3 studies analyzing patients with both alone and in association with ipilimumab (1,2). However, patients with brain involvement were not enrolled and this clinical setting represents a treatment challenge for physicians.},
