1 Stage: AJCC staging classification for vulvar melanoma, and local/regional/distantfor vaginal or cervical melanomas; 2 PFS: from treatment initiation to date of progression or death; 3 OS: from treatment initiation to date of last follow-up or death; 4 No details of patients order in the treatment (ipilimumab, nivolumab, etc.). The leftmost number before colon indicates the number of patients in each group.Abbreviations: CVD indicates cisplatin-vinblastin-dacarbazine; Cervix, melanoma of uterine cervix; DM, diabetes mellitis; G, grade; iCPD, comfirmed progressive disease; irAEs, immune-related adverse events; NED, no evidence of disease; n.s., not specified; RT: radiotherapy.
