Cutaneous melanoma is a deadly skin cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment of primary tumors improve cure rates, but advanced melanoma remains challenging despite new therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Cutaneous melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of primary tumors are crucial for high cure rates.
  • Breslow thickness is the key prognostic indicator for primary melanoma.

Purpose:

  • To outline the current diagnostic and treatment strategies for cutaneous melanoma.
  • To highlight the prognostic significance of Breslow thickness.
  • To discuss the challenges in managing advanced melanoma, including lymph node invasion and metastasis.

Summary:

  • Diagnosis relies on pathological examination of primary tumors, with Breslow thickness being the best prognostic index.
  • Treatment for localized disease is well-defined by international guidelines.
