Bioinformatics-based prognostic value and in vitro functional validation of PTK6 in cutaneous melanoma

The experimental results demonstrate that PTK6 is a novel prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for CM, highlighting its strong potential for real-world clinical applications.This study provides a theoretical basis for understanding PTK6's role in CM and its application in personalized treatment. However, further large-scale, multi-center studies are needed to verify its mechanistic role and clinical value.
