OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about if new biomarkers such as gut microbiota and molecular genetics melanoma features could predict clinical radiological and pathological response to neoadjuvant monotherapy with anti-PD1 agents in patients with resectable stage IIIB-D melanoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: * radiological and pathological response rate to three doses of antiPD1 agents; * do radiological and pathological responses correlate with gut microbiota and melanoma molecular genetics features Participants will receive three doses of aPD1 monotherapy as per center routine practice and will undergo regional lymphadenectomy. Before treatment initiation patients will be asked to bring faeces probes and fill out dietary questionnaire as well as just before the surgery. After sugery adjuvant therapy will be prescribed for 12 month and patients will be followed up according to institutional routine practice for 5 years.

Interventions
Patients with resectable stage IIIB-D melanoma will have a lymph node core biopsy to confirm metastatic lesions, following standard procedures. Additionally, a portion of the tumor tissue will be preserved for biomarker analysis. Participants will then be instructed to submit fecal samples and complete a dietary questionnaire before receiving three doses of PD1 monotherapy, in accordance with the center\'s routine practice, typically spanning 6-10 weeks. Between weeks 10 and 12, a radiological assessment of the response will be conducted. Following this, participants will undergo regional lymphadenectomy, and the pathological response will be evaluated. After surgery, patients will be placed on adjuvant therapy for 12 months as per routine practice of the center . Subsequently, they will be monitored for five years, adhering to the institution\'s standard follow-up protocol.
