Abstract

Metastatic melanoma is characterized by extremely poor survival rates and hence novel therapies are urgently required. The ability of many anticancer drugs to activate autophagy, a lysosomal-mediated catabolic process which usually promotes cell survival, suggests targeting the autophagy pathway may be a novel means to augment therapy.
