Brief summary

This is an interventional mono-centric study in patients with BRAF mutated metastatic melanoma treated with BRAF/MEK inhibitors. The aim of the study is to test the grafting of patient tumoral cells in avian embryo and develop a predictive in vivo model for patient treatment response.

Interventions
