The EVI2B-high melanoma tissue had favorable histological parameters such as a brisk global distribution pattern and clustering structure of TILs (i.e., Banfield and Raftery index) with enriched CD8+ T cells over regulatory T cells and increased cytotoxicity scores. In addition, EVI2B expression positively correlated with IFN-γ signature genes (CXCL10, CXCL9, HLA-DRA, IDO1, IFNG, and STAT1) and other various immunomodulatory genes.\nCONCLUSION: EVI2B is a novel prognostic biomarker with IFN-γ associated immune infiltration in metastatic melanoma.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "For the visualization of the overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS), we used Kaplan–Meier plotting.
