The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]:
  • Add a citation in the Introduction section
In the original publication, the publication from Lucas Basler et al. [2] was not cited. The citation has now been inserted in the Introduction as reference [9]:
In order to predict the response to immunotherapy several outcome predictive biomarkers based on the histopathology of the primary tumor (i.e., tumor thickness, ulceration, mitotic rate) [8], standard blood samples (i.e., lactate dehydrogenase LDH, calcium-binding protein B S100B) [9] or clinical aspects (i.e., sentinel lymph node involvement, anatomical site of primary tumor, gender or age) [10] have been already discussed in the literature.”
