Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Malignant melanoma of the female genital tract is relatively uncommon and accounts for 3-7% of all melanoma localizations. This study aimed to identify driver genes in melanoma of the female genital tract with the purpose of enhancing understanding of disease pathogenesis and identifying potential new therapeutic targets to develop effective therapies. METHODS: KIT (CD117) and BRAF expression were...
