Extractions: Learn About Clinical Trials at UPCI Nearly a million new cases of skin cancer are reported every year. Of that number, about 42,000 Americans develop melanoma a skin cancer that generally begins with a change in the shape, color, or some other feature of a pigmented area of the skin. Melanoma is the most serious and potentially lethal of all skin cancers. Each year more than 7,500 patients die of the disease. The incidence of melanoma is rising more rapidly than the incidence of other solid tumors. Melanoma is the leading cause of cancer death in women ages 25 through 30. Because men and women with melanoma may be relatively young at onset (less than 48 years old), melanoma is one of the most significant causes of lost productivity in the U.S. population. The number of fatal melanomas continues to rise especially among older men. Education efforts have increased public awareness of melanoma and of the importance of skin-cancer screening. Earlier diagnosis and surgical treatment have improved the cure rate. Now more than 85 percent of patients with new cases of melanoma can expect to be cured by appropriate surgery. Nonsurgical treatment includes adjuvant therapies therapies used in combination that help prevent recurrence. UPMC Health System Home Page About UPMC Health Med Info Find a Doctor ... UPMC Hospitals

Extractions: Melanoma FAQ This FAQ was written as a public service, and is intended as an educational aid. Nothing herein should be construed as medical advice. Introduction Melanoma is a type of cancer, originating in the melanocytes, the cells containing color. Approximately 47,700 cases per year are currently diagnosed in the United States alone, and the incidence is increasing at the rate of 4.3% per year, one of the fastest increases in occurence rates of all cancers. In about 2% of occurences, the disease is present even though no skin discoloration occurs. This is called amelanotic melanoma. The American Cancer Society estimates that there are currently 480,000 cases of melanoma in America today and that there are 7,700 deaths per year from the disease. In the U.S., Europe and Australia there are 90,000 new cases diagnosed per year and 15,000 deaths annually. "According to the American Academy of Dermatology, one person dies from malignant melanoma every hour. The overall incidence rate for the disease is increasing faster than that of any other cancer and by the year 2000, an American's lifetime risk of developing melanoma will be one in 75. The disease is now the most commonly occurring cancer in women between the ages of 25 and 29 and is second only to breast cancer in women ages 30 to 34. " - Sept. 24, 1996 /PRNewswire; SOURCE: Schering-Plough Corporation. When melanoma spreads, it often affects other places on the skin, lymph nodes, lungs, liver, brain or bones. Such secondary spread is referred to as Metastatic Melanoma..
