This strongly implies that the development of multivariable models combining immune features from pan-cancer analysis, with genomic and clinical markers is clinically needed to refine and improve current melanoma-specific prognostic algorithms. Given that only a small fraction of available samples in melanoma TCGA has been classified, the broader impact of immune/tumor properties on melanoma specific cancer outcomes remains unclear. In melanoma, however, ~ 80% of the tumors from the TCGA analyzed in The Pan-Cancer Immune Working Group study were not classified into any of the six immune subtypes identified in pan-cancer analysis, potentially due to the vast majority of the 80% “unclassified” fraction of the melanoma cohort in TCGA being metastatic. Recent evidence has also shown that the immune microenvironment can be associated with cancer specific survival.

These pan-cancer immune signatures provide broad evidence of the contributing role of the tumor immune landscape in cancer progression. The six immunogenomic subtypes were associated with different cancer properties, such as proliferation or survival. Recently, a large study by The Pan-Cancer Immune Working Group, derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data, comprising 11,080 tumor samples, has classified common cancers into six immune subtypes, grouped by specific immune signatures. However, TMB/NB alone does not capture the observed heterogeneity of ICI-related outcomes or OS, suggesting that other modifying factors are involved. This suggests that the host immune system, depending on tumor properties, has the capacity to control tumor progression from early stages to metastatic presentation, hence impacting overall survival (OS). Since ICI therapies boost immune priming and activation, the level of neo-epitope burden (NB) resulting from tumor-specific somatic mutations may be associated with improved immune detection of tumor cells. It has been established that the immunogenicity of melanoma is driven by one of the highest somatic mutation rates among all cancers, and a high overall TMB is associated with improved ICI therapy outcomes in melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and other cancers. While the mechanisms of melanoma immunogenicity are not fully understood, observations from ICI treatments suggest that host immune control of the tumor progression is mediated by immune reactivity to neo-epitopes resulting from increased tumor mutation burden (TMB).
