Abstract

Mucosal melanomas are challenging to treat partly because so little is known about the genetic drivers underpinning them. Here, the authors perform a genomic landscape analysis of samples collected from three continents, revealing a potential role for CDK4/6 or MEK inhibition in the treatment of the disease.
