Abstract: Background The immune response to melanoma is manifested locally by tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Men and women are known to have varying patterns of immunity, yet sex‐specific prognostic implications of TILs have not been explored. Methods… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a known prognostic biomarker for survival and is predictive of sentinel lymph node (SLN) positivity in some cancers. However, its usefulness as a prognostic biomarker for cutaneous squamous cell… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/cmr.0000000000000481
Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the sentinel lymph node (SLN) tumour burden to predict the non-SLN positivity rate and the survival of melanoma patients to evaluate whether SLN microstaging could predict the prognosis, similar to… read more here.
