This study will evaluate the clinical and pathological response to vemurafenib and cobimetinib in the neoadjuvant treatment of patients with histologically confirmed, BRAF V600 mutation-positive Stage IIIB and C melanoma. 20 patients will be treated with vemurafenib and cobimetinib for 2 months. Then they will be assessed for surgery. Patients will undergo surgery and subsequently resume taking vemurafenib and cobimetinib after recovery from surgery. Patients will undergo radiation therapy if appropriate then continue vemurafenib and cobimetinib. The maximum treatment period is 12 months. After 12 months of treatment, patients will be followed for disease recurrence and survival during for a total of 5 years.

Currently are known to have the following conditions: 1. Uncontrolled glaucoma with intra-ocular pressures with > 21 mmHg 2. Retinal venous occlusion (RVO) 3. Hypertensive retinopathy 18. Clinically significant cardiac dysfunction, including the following: 1. Current unstable angina 2. Current symptomatic congestive heart failure of New York Heart Association class 2 or higher 3. History of congenital long QT syndrome or QTcF > 450 msec at baseline or uncorrectable abnormalities in serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus). 4.
