Abstract excerpt
Importance: UV-induced mutagenesis leads to a higher tumor mutational burden (TMB) in cutaneous melanoma relative to other cancer types. TMB is an important prognostic marker in advanced melanoma; higher TMB is associated with greater clinical response to immune checkpoint inhibition and improved survival. Objective: To evaluate the association between cutaneous melanoma TMB and indoor tanning exposure, as well...
