Abstract excerpt
In-transit melanoma (ITM) is a unique presentation of metastatic cutaneous melanoma associated with therapeutic challenges. Despite its clinical importance, the molecular drivers of ITM remain poorly defined. We aimed to characterize the mutational landscape of ITM and identify genetic alterations distinguishing it from other melanoma metastases. Tumor samples from 528 patients in the MSK-IMPACT dataset,...
