A potential way for overcoming immunotherapy resistance in patients with mucosal melanomas

The development of the anti-cancer immunotherapy drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors has improved treatment for many cancer patients, but patients with mucosal melanomas - melanomas that occur not on the skin but in the mucous membranes in the head, neck, eyes, respiratory tract, and genitourinary region - are particularly resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors for reasons researchers don't fully understand.
