Development and Validation of Tumor Immunogenicity Based Gene Signature for Skin Cancer Risk Stratification

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of skin cancer, with significant heterogeneity in overall survival. Currently, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging is insufficient to provide accurate survival prediction and appropriate treatment decision making for several types of tumors, such as those...
