Abstract: 【Abstract】 Human interferon α1b is the first genetically engineered classⅠ drug in China, and has been approved for the treatment of melanoma and other tumors. As an adjuvant treatment for resected melanoma and a systemic treatment for advanced melanoma, human interferon α1b can effectively improve the survival of patients while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Based on clinical application experience and recent literature, the Skin Cancer Research Group, Committee on Dermatology, Chinese Association of Integrative Medicine and Melanoma Society of China Anti-Cancer Association convened experts in this field to develop this consensus, aiming to provide a reference for clinical treatment decisions regarding melanoma.
