Oncogenic alterations reveal key strategies for precision oncology in melanoma treatment.

ABSTRACT: Molecular profiling with next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been applied in multiple solid tumors, including melanomas, to identify potential drug targets. However, the association between clinical outcomes and the molecular alterations has not yet been fully clarified. A total of 108 patients with melanoma were included in this study, 95 of whom had both sequencing data and clinical outcomes were collected. We analyzed the genetic alterations of 108 malignant melanoma patients using the OncoCare panel, which covers 559 genes. A model was also established to predict side effects through a combination analysis of clinical data and somatic variants, yielding an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) score of 0.8. We also identified epidermal growth factor receptor (
