Abstract

BACKGROUND: Melanomas are skin malignant tumors that arise from melanocytes which are primarily treated with surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, etc. Targeted therapy is a promising approach to treating advanced melanomas, but resistance always occurs. This study is aimed at identifying the potential target genes and candidate drugs for drug-resistant melanoma effectively with computational methods.
