Among the mechanisms responsible for resistance to immunotherapy, metabolism seems to play a major role. A better understanding of tumor metabolism appears to be absolutely necessary in order to propose efficient therapeutic alternatives to target tumor cells without exerting a deleterious effect on the cells responsible for the anti-tumor immune response. The main objective is to evaluate metabolism modulations in melanoma cells extracted from metastases of patients sensitive and resistant to immunotherapies (anti-PD1 or anti-PD1+anti-CTLA4).
