• Adults at least 18 years of age
• World Health Organization (WHO) Performance Status 0 or 1
• Cytologically and histologically confirmed resectable stage III melanoma with one or more macroscopic lymph node metastases (measurable according to RECIST 1.1), that can be biopsied, and no history of in-transit metastases within the last 6 months
• No other malignancies, except adequately treated and a cancer-related life-expectancy of more than 5 years
• Patient willing to undergo triple tumor biopsies and extra blood withdrawal during screening and in case of relapse
• No prior immunotherapy targeting CTLA-4, PD-1 or PD-L1
• No immunosuppressive medications within 6 months prior study inclusion
• Screening laboratory values must meet the following criteria: WBC = 2.0x109/L, Neutrophils =1.5x109/L, Platelets =100 x109/L, Hemoglobin =5.5 mmol/L, Creatinine =1.5x ULN, AST = 1.5 x ULN, ALT = 1.5 x ULN, Bilirubin =1.5 X ULN
• Normal LDH
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use appropriate method(s) of contra-ception. WOCBP should use an adequate method to avoid pregnancy for 23 weeks (30 days plus the time required for nivolumab to undergo five half-lives) after the last dose of investigational drug
