Abstract

Skin cancer is reaching epidemic levels in the United States. Recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of melanoma have allowed improved risk stratification in the revised American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) criteria, new tests to capture patients at higher risk than their stage may indicate, and new treatments to offer hope and cures to patients with advanced disease.

Keywords: Gene expression profiling; Immunotherapy; Melanoma; Melanoma staging; Skin cancer; Targeted therapy for melanoma.
