Molecular and epigenetic features of melanomas and tumor immune microenvironment linked to durable remission to ipilimumab-based immunotherapy in metastatic patients.
Ipilimumab (Ipi) improves the survival of advanced melanoma patients with an incremental long-term benefit in 10-15 % of patients. A tumor signature that correlates with this survival benefit could help optimizing individualized treatment strategies.
