A systematic review and meta-analysis of gene expression profiling for primary cutaneous melanoma prognosis
May 2020
Systematic review of available evidence on GEP for prognosis. Included meta-analysis of 6 studies on the 31-GEP. Clinical implications show that 31-GEP can better assess prognosis leading to more appropriate patient management.
