: detection of sNKG2DLs (MICA, MICB, ULBP-1, 2, 3) in the pre- (baseline) or post- (W12) treatment serum of melanoma patients; positive (+) or negative (−) measurement (ng/mL) of sNKG2DLs are indicated;
: number of subjects from the cohort of patients treated with immune checkpoint blockade agents;
: OS: median overall survival expressed as months;
: p value obtained from log-rank test analysis;
: Number of patients from the control cohort.
: W12 post-treatment data from melanoma patients treated with BRAFi; n.r. = not reached. Post-treatment from patients treated with standard therapies was not available.
