First, the lnRNAs related to pyroptosis were obtained through Pearson correlation analysis. Then, the prognosis model of pyroptosis related genes was constructed by Cox regression and Lasso regression. Melanoma patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups by risk score, and the differences in prognosis and immune microenvironment between the two groups were explored.Results: We found that the high-risk group had a significantly poorer prognosis, and different groups differed in immune infiltration, m6A methylation, and immune checkpoint.Conclusion: Our prognostic model can provide a reference for the study of pyroptosis in melanoma cells and provide a new idea for melanoma treatment.Keywords: melanoma, pyroptosis, programmed cell death, immunotherapy, bioinformatics
