Unique Immune Gene Signature Identified Across Thousands Of Patients' Solid Tumors, Including Metastatic Melanoma

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have discovered a unique immune gene signature that can predict the presence of microscopic lymph node-like structures in metastatic melanoma. The presence of these immune structures, the researchers said, appears to be associated with better survival and may indicate the possibility of selecting patients for immunotherapy based solely on the immune-related makeup of their tumors as an approach to personalized medicine. The study appears in Scientific Reports, a journal from Nature Publishing Group... via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
