Abstract excerpt
Advanced melanoma is typically treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and targeted therapies. However, their efficacy is limited in acral and mucosal melanomas, which are more prevalent in non-White populations and often exhibit low tumor mutational burden and lack BRAF mutations. Fusion genes, widely used as therapeutic targets in other cancers, may represent alternative targets in these melanoma...
