  • Hi Deedeexx,

    I can only advise on behalf of melanoma patients who have immunotherapy. Yes, they have a scan before starting treatment & then at intervals throughout their treatment. The first scan is used as a baseline to see if further scans show any change to show if the treatment is working.
