摘要

Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, with notorious resistance to current chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In this issue, Hiscutt et al. report on the prognostic significance of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) in melanoma. The finding that XIAP inhibition significantly increases endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis in melanoma cells suggests that XIAP is a potential therapeutic target for melanoma therapy.
