Melanoma is one of the most aggressive tumors afflicting humankind. Although it accounts for only 1–3% of all cancers diagnosed in the United States, the incidence is rising more rapidly than that of any other malignancy.1 A large percentage of patients will present with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage II or advanced disease, and their risk for regional or distant recurrence has been reported as high as 80% in some series. Once diagnosed with distant metastasis, the expected 5-year survival is less than 5%.2 Unique to melanoma is its aggressive behavior with an unpredictable diversity for metastasis. Distant metastasis occurs most frequently to the brain, lungs, and liver. Melanoma is also reported to be the most common extra-abdominal tumor to metastasize to the gastrointestinal tract. Favorable response to single-agent chemotherapy has been limited, and the addition of combination therapies such as biochemotherapy regimens is still being evaluated. Immunotherapy, such as vaccine, appears to be effective in node-positive patients; however, those with distant metastasis are often refractory to most interventions.2,3 For these reasons, it is imperative to identify patients at higher risk for disease recurrence after disease removal and, more so, to determine those individuals with systemic progressive disease.
