The metastatic melanoma project group aims to identify biomarkers that allow us to stratify patients into those who benefit from immunotherapy and those who do not. Immunotherapy is a highly effective treatment for a subset of patients, but there are also many who do not respond to this therapy. It is additionally associated with significant side effects and late effects, and it is costly. Identifying patients who are unlikely to benefit from immunotherapy will spare them unnecessary treatment and the burden of side effects.
