    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Cancer Research

    Background:

    • Primary cutaneous melanoma is a significant health concern.
    • Understanding the risk of multiple primary melanomas is vital for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence and characteristics of multiple primary cutaneous melanomas.
    • To inform patients and physicians about the risk of secondary primary melanomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 1,444 patients diagnosed with primary cutaneous melanoma.
    • Tracking the development of subsequent primary melanomas in the patient cohort.

    Main Results:

    • 3.9% of patients (57 out of 1,444) developed more than one primary cutaneous melanoma.

  • Subsequent primary melanomas were often diagnosed years after the initial tumor and in different body locations.
  • Second primary melanomas were not diagnosed at an earlier biological stage than the original tumors.

    • Conclusions:

    • Patients with a history of primary cutaneous melanoma face an increased risk of developing additional primary melanomas.
    • Physicians should conduct thorough examinations for new primary melanomas, in addition to monitoring for recurrences.
    • Increased awareness and vigilant screening are essential for managing patients with primary cutaneous melanoma.
