Immunotherapy Efficacy and PD-L1 as a Predictive Biomarker in Metastatic Melanoma in Slovenia

This study evaluates the efficacy of immunotherapy in the first-line treatment of metastatic melanoma in Slovenia and investigates the predictive value of PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue and blood. The aim is to assess the association between exosomal PD-L1 miRNA expression, PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue, and PD-L1 expression on the surface of immune cells, and response to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. In addition, the study evaluates the association between the occurrence of immune-related adverse events and survival.
