Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer, representing only 5% of all skin cancer but 80% of all death by skin cancer. Diagnosis and treatment of melanoma must be early because prognosis depends on stage disease. Immunotherapy is used in metastatic melanoma. However, all patients not respond to immunotherapy. Helioderma (photoaging) is a marker of exposure to UV rays and therefore of mutagenesis. Thus, helioderma could be associated with the response to immunotherapy.
