Incorporating the 31-gene expression profile test stratifies survival outcomes and leads to improved survival compared to clinicopathologic factors alone: a surveillance, epidemiology and end results (SEER) program collaboration

Apr 2022

Utilizing patient data provided through collaboration with the NCI SEER program in patients with Stage I-III CM, 31-GEP class result was a significant independent predistor of both MSS and OS. Patients with 31-GEP results in addition to clinicopathologic factors had improved survival.
