Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer with invasive growth patterns. Recent advances in melanoma management have focused on cell growth, proliferation, migration, and survival biomarkers. Numerous FDA-approved molecular-targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), have been developed targeting genetic biomarkers that play a critical role in tumorigenesis when overexpressed. The use of targeted therapies as an alternative or adjuvant to immunotherapy has revolutionized the management of metastatic melanoma. Although this treatment strategy is more efficacious and less toxic than traditional therapies, targeted therapies are less effective after prolonged treatment due to acquired resistance given the mutations and activation of resistant mechanisms in melanoma tumors. In this sense, identifying novel target therapies and repositioned drugs that could modulate the disease progression, the potential molecular and pharmacological mechanisms of therapies are of utmost interest.

The Fourth Brazilian Congress of Pharmacotherapy and Clinical Pharmacy showcases Brazil's role within the vibrant and evolving community of pharmacotherapy and clinical pharmacy in Latin America. This volume offers a window into Brazil's ongoing contributions as part of a collective Latin American effort, presenting a comprehensive collection of scientific investigations and documented clinical experience reports that address important healthcare challenges. Containing hundreds of peer-reviewed works, evaluated through a double-blind review process, this publication documents ongoing progress in evidence-based, patient-centered pharmaceutical care. The compilation adheres to rigorous scientific standards, with submissions evaluated for methodological soundness, clinical relevance, and adherence to ethical guidelines. Systematically organized to facilitate knowledge transfer, this resource offers understandings into emerging therapeutic protocols, pharmacological interventions, and clinical decision-making frameworks. For researchers, clinicians, and policymakers, this publication provides an essential, data-driven foundation for advancing pharmaceutical practice in the region.
This volume presents theoretical and empirical research on universities and their entrepreneurial ecosystems to better grasp the connections between universities and their surrounding environments and their engagement with sustainability. The book provides a better understanding of the entrepreneurial characteristics of universities. It examines the ways in which universities’ collaboration and participation in an ecosystem support business and industry transformation. It also investigates how universities function within the university/industry/government/third sector relationship nexus. The book enables the systematisation of the literature while simultaneously builds theory, empirically testing existing theories, and contributes towards a future research agenda geared towards sustainability. The book gathers contributions from varied geographical contexts providing an international perspective.
