Summary

This study looked at immune cells (T cells, NK cells, and macrophages) inside melanoma tumors from 217 patients. The goal was to understand how these cells affect the body's ability to fight the cancer or suppress the immune response. Researchers also examined how chemotherapy might change these immune cells. The study did not test a new treatment but aimed to gather knowledge for future therapies.
