        I thought the presentation relative to the sequencing of treatment was important– and something I’ve not seen discussed before…. Perhaps this is better known within the medical community than I realize—that if one has the choice one should opt for immunotherapy prior to the Braf inhibitor… leaving the braf as a second line defense, since the data suggest that the immunotherapy is less effective if taken after a Braf treatment.
