MELANOMA 2018 Predictions vs 2017
More new cases, but fewer deaths predicted for 2018 91,270 invasive cases + 4,160
74,680 melanoma in situ cases +12,610
7,940 cases predicted for Florida + 330
9,320 deaths predicted for 2018 * - 410
(+): Increase compared to 2017 predictions(-): Decrease compared to 2017 predictions
* Down 810 (8.0%) from 2016 peak of 10,130 deaths
MELANOMA Incidence Predictions
Adolescents and Young AdultsCancers in adolescents (aged 15 to 19 years) differ somewhat from those in children in terms of type and distribution. For example, brain and other nervous system tumors (21%) (more than one-half [58%] of which are benign/borderline malignant) and lymphoma (20%) are equally common, and there are almost twice as many cases of Hodgkin lymphoma as non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Leukemia is third (13%), followed by germ cell and gonadal tumors (11%) and thyroid carcinoma (11%).
Skin Melanoma accounts for 4% of the cancers in adolescents

MELANOMA Future Incidence Predictions
Comparing predictions in US for 2015 to 2020 & beyond
• 2020: 111,000 invasive cases +37,130 (50%↑)
• 2030: 151,000 invasive cases +77,130 (>2x ↑) By 2030, melanoma will be the fifth most common cancer in the
US behind breast (294,000), prostate (228,000), lung (225,000), and thyroid (183,000)
+ = increase compared to 2015 predictions
Rahib et al, Cancer Res 2014;74:2913-21 Siegel et al, CA Cancer J Clin 2015;65:5-29
MELANOMA Future Incidence Predictions
What do they mean for us?
• Potentially dramatic increases in the number of new cases over the next 15 years – a doubling of cases nationwide
• Most will likely have localized disease, & occur increasingly in an elderly population, but probably many more pediatric cases as well
• Patients with metastatic melanoma will live longer & require more follow-up due to new treatments
• We will need to be prepared for more volume & more survivors than ever before!

Moles as Precursor Lesions of Melanoma
• Acquired (common) nevi associated with increased risk for melanoma if numerous 80% of all patients have up to 50 nevi Risk likely increases with > 50 lesions Nevi on unusual sites (buttocks, feet, ant. scalp) may be
precursors • Atypical nevi are both a “marker” for increased risk for melanoma
(on normal skin) & are precursor lesions (low individual risk) Risk related to total number nevi (common & atypical) Risk related to personal & family Hx for MM Prophylactic removal therefore will not prevent development MM
Kanzler MH et al. J Am Acad Dermatol 2001;45:260-276
Moles as Precursor Lesions of Melanoma
• Congenital nevi can be precursor lesions (1-2.5% newborns) Histologic growth pattern best indicator (risk if involvement of deep dermis) Small size (<1.5 cm) --------------------low risk (observation) Intermediate size (1.5 cm-20 cm) –- intermediate risk (biopsy to assess for
depth) Large size (>20 cm) -------------------- high risk (“wait & watch” not acceptable!)
Kanzler MH et al. J Am Acad Dermatol 2001;45:260-276
Atypical Moles (AM)
• Synonym: Dysplastic, Clark’s nevi
• Occur in < 10% of American Caucasians
• Sporadic or familial
• Single or multiple
• Cutaneous marker identifying individuals at increased risk for melanoma
• Risk affected by personal and/or family history of melanoma

• Controversial Aggressive biopsies vs observation? Excisional vs scallop biopsies (if indicated)?
• Excision (if biopsy positive) All lesions or only those with severe atypia? What about lesions with moderate atypia? Conventional vs deep scallop? 1mm vs 2mm margins?
• Dermatopathologist What are their skill sets? Do they “over read” atypia? Do they make “recommendations” to excise?
Management of “Atypical /Dysplastic Nevi”

Dermatoscope
• A hand-held microscope that provides detailed visualization of the structures of the epidermis, the dermal –epidermal junction, and the papillary dermis not visible to the naked eye.
• Powerful tool to aid the diagnosis of early melanomas
• Helps differentiate benign frommalignant pigmented and non-pigmented lesions of the skin
Pigmented Lesions: When Should You Perform A Biopsy?
• Onset after age 40• Irregular border• Asymmetry• Irregular pigment esp. black• Colors of “American flag”• Change in size• Pain, irritation, pruritus• Bleeding, crusting “Infection” • When you don’t know what it is!• INTUITION!
Melanoma: Biopsy Technique
• Goal is complete removal for thorough histological evaluation & microstaging
If high index of suspicion– Excisional biopsy whenever possible
– Punch biopsy of the darkest & thickest area if too large or excision not feasible
If low index of suspicion– Deep “scallop” or “saucerization”, not
tangential or “shave”
– Incumbent on provider to get below lesion!

Melanoma: Biopsy Technique
Attempt complete removal, by deep “scallop” technique 2mm margins -----------------provides dermatopathologist better assessment of entire lesion & growth pattern
Melanoma: Biopsy Technique
Exception: Punch biopsy can be used to take a portion of a large lesion or a very small lesion (in effect an excision) if clinically conventional excision not feasible
Pearl Alert
Exception: May need several biopsies if lesion is large and ill-defined & excision not feasible

Melanoma: Microstaging
Pathology Report - What’s Important
• Tumor thickness (Breslow)
• Ulceration• Mitoses• Margin involvement
You’ve Diagnosed Melanoma-Now What?
Dermatology for the Non-DermatologistMay 30 – June 3, 2018
Neil Alan Fenske, MDCutaneous Oncology - NMSC 26
Initial Diagnostic Work-Up
• Validate Adequate Biopsy (Need to be below the base of the lesion-for prognostic purposes; however doesn’t affect ultimate outcome!)
• Full Skin Exam
• Complete ROS
• Palpation of lymph node basins
• The extent of the staging work-up & treatment should be definedby the extent of local & regional disease
• Focus on meaningful assessment of primary & nodal disease
Primary lesion:
Thin or thick
Regional nodal involvement:
Microscopic or macroscopic
Surgical Therapy of MelanomaIndividualized treatment
Disease-free survival stratified by SLN status
Gershenwald et al. J Clin Oncol 1999
SLN status is the most
powerful independent
prognostic factor
predicting survival;
individualizing treatment
Reasons to Perform SLNB Improved Staging & Prognosis
Dermatology for the Non-DermatologistMay 30 – June 3, 2018
Neil Alan Fenske, MDCutaneous Oncology - NMSC 27
Sentinel Node Hypothesis
• Concept: Melanoma metastasis
proceeds in an orderly
manner via lymphatics
The sentinel node reflects
status of the remaining lymphatic basin
“Skip metastases” rarely occur (<3%)
Sentinel Node Hypothesis
• Conclusion: If sentinel node is tumor free, the remaining lymphatic basin will also be tumor free

Surgical Therapy of MelanomaIndividualized treatment
TUMOR THICKNESS SURGERY
In Situ 0.5-1.0 cm margins; No SLNB²
≤1.0 mm 1.0 cm margins; No SLNB³
1.01-2.0 mm 1.0-2.0 cm margins; SLNB
> 2.0 mm 2.0 cm margins; SLNB
+ lymph nodes (Including + SLNB) Complete lymph node dissection
Surgical Guidelines¹
¹Margins can be modified to accommodate anatomic/functional considerations²For large MMIS, Lentigo maligna type, margins > .5 cm may be necessary to clear: (consider topical Imiquimod or radiotherapy if + margins and inoperable)³Consider SLNB selected patients (.76-1.0 mm) e.g. young & high risk histology
Melanoma: Staging Work-upWhy important?
• Groups patients into similar prognostic & management cohorts
• Guides clinician to counsel patient regarding prognosis & treatment
• Groups patients into homogeneous populations for clinical trials
Johnson TM et al. Arch Dermatol 2004;140:107-113
Melanoma: Staging Work-upGeneral Information
• There are no data today that demonstrate any significant difference in overall survival (OS) between asymptomatic & symptomatic stage IV disease!
• Prognosis is dismal--but some patients may benefit from surgical & / or systemic intervention--that can lead to significant remission
• Quality of life often worsened by asymptomatic detection of stage IV disease
• Detection of occult regional disease may result in higher survival rates
Stage III survival primarily determined by:– Number of positive nodes
– The microscopic & macroscopic tumor burden in nodes
– The ulceration status of primary lesion
Status of sentinel node therefore becomes critical
Johnson TM et al. Arch Dermatol 2004;140:107-113
Dermatology for the Non-DermatologistMay 30 – June 3, 2018
Neil Alan Fenske, MDCutaneous Oncology - NMSC 29
Melanoma: Staging Work-upGuidelines for Care: General
• Foundation of initial workup is thorough history & physical exam Examine the primary site, the regional lymphatic
pathways & lymph node basin(s), remainder of skin & mucus membranes
ROS should be a melanoma-focused
Stage 0, I, II disease– NO routine blood studies
– NO routine imaging studies unless specific signs/symptoms!
– SLNB stage II and IB >.76mm-1mm (ulceration or mitoses)
)
Melanoma: Staging Work-upGuidelines for Care: General
• Imaging & Hematologic Testing—Beneficial? Current screening studies lack both high sensitivity & high specificity Tests have marginal efficacy & not cost-effective for detecting occult disease False-positive tests are common (15-20%) – lead to more tests, expense, duress Tests are indicated if ROS or exam abnormal Beneficial If abnormal; would preclude more extensive surgery (e.g. CLND if SLN +) Lymph node sonography & Positron Emission Tomography may be most sensitive
non-invasive tests to identify small nodal metastases However, for asymptomatic patients with clinically localized disease--SLNB is the
more sensitive & more specific test to detect sub-clinical nodal disease!
Johnson TM et al. Arch Dermatol 2004;140:107-113
Melanoma: Staging Work-up GuidelinesAsymptomatic Patients
MELANOMA STATUS NCCN (Version1.2017)
Local disease In Situ (S0) No routine tests
Local disease <1.0 mm (SI) No routine tests
No SLNB*
*Consider SLNB lesion ( 0.75-1.0 mm) if ulceration or mitotic rate > 1/mm²
Local disease ≥1.0 mm (SII) No routine tests
SLNB if clinically neg nodes; if equivocal nodal basin ultrasound with biopsy of abnormal nodes before SLNB
Regional disease (S III) SLNB +: Consider CT or PET/CT (staging)
Clinically + nodes: Confirm histologically (FNA or core, incisional, or excisional biopsy)
Baseline CT or PET/CT (staging)
If + inguinofemoral nodes must do pelvic CT
Distant disease (S IV) Confirm histologically (FNA or core, incisional, or excisional biopsy)
Baseline chest/abdominal/pelvic CT with or without PET/CT
Brain MRI or CT with contrast should be performed
Serum LDH (not sensitive marker for metastatic disease-reflects tumor burden-prognostic value)
Dermatology for the Non-DermatologistMay 30 – June 3, 2018
Neil Alan Fenske, MDCutaneous Oncology - NMSC 30
• Routine laboratory tests and imaging studies not required if melanoma <4 mm
