Construction and validation of the 10 survival-related immune lncRNAs signature for survival prediction. (A) The risk score of each patient. (B) The scatter plot of the sample survival overview, the green and red dots respectively represent survival and death. (C) The heatmap showed the 10 differentially expressed lncRNAs. (D) Kaplan-Meier plot for overall survival (OS) based on risk score of the 4 gene-based signatures of patients with primary SKCM in the TCGA cohort.

Correlations between risk score of the 10 immune-related lncRNA-based model with clinicopathological characteristics. The Cox regression analysis for evaluating the independent prognostic value of the risk score. Univariate (A) and multivariate Cox regression analyses (B). (C) A comparison of 5-year ROC curves with other common clinical characteristics. (D) The box-plot showed that The box-plot showed that there were statistical different expressions of the candidate immune-related lncRNAs in T stage.
