The article presents clinical trials data of melanoma with brain metastasis and a clinical case of long-term survival of a patient with disseminated skin melanoma and synchronous multiple metastatic brain damage by controlling a tumor disease using modern antitumor treatment, including targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, radiosurgery and neurosurgery (at the stage of diagnosis). The total duration of life after detection of the disease is 22 months, with an expected 2-3 months.
