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 and how chemotherapy might change them. It was an observational study, not a treatment trial, aimed at gathering knowledge to guide future therapies.
