Malignant melanoma is increasing in incidence worldwide, and many patients remain at a significant risk of recurrence following surgical resection.

This review summarizes the rationale for adjuvant therapy, and discusses the roles of interferon, immunotherapy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy in the adjuvant setting. New approaches and novel combinations that appear promising for the adjuvant therapy of malignant melanoma are also outlined.
