Reviewer 2 Report
The authors describe the association of serum iron with prognosis of melanoma. High risk group shows poor prognosis in melanoma patients. These data are informative for management of melanoma. I have the following suggestions.
1. Ferroptosis of melanoma was described in other paper (ex. PMID: 35309911). You should discuss about ferroptosis in melanoma.
2. There are too many examples of past papers in the discussion part. Association of melanoma with iron should be more discussed.
