Locoregional spread of Cutaneous Melanoma: sonography findings.
AJR. American journal of roentgenology, 2010Co-Authors: Orlando Catalano, Corrado Caracò, Nicola Mozzillo, Alfredo SianiAbstract:This article reviews various aspects of locoregional spread of malignant Cutaneous Melanoma, as imaged with gray-scale sonography and Doppler techniques. The scenarios illustrated include disease staging (primary Melanoma, satellite metastasis, in-transit metastasis, and lymphadenopathies), sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure, patient follow-up, recurrence detection, Cutaneous metastasis, and sonographically guided intervention. High-resolution sonography allows recognition of small, clinically-occult Melanomatous foci. It plays a major role in locoregional staging and follow-up of patients with Cutaneous Melanoma.

Cutaneous Melanoma: role of ultrasound in the assessment of locoregional spread.
Current problems in diagnostic radiology, 2010Co-Authors: Orlando Catalano, Alfredo SianiAbstract:This article illustrates the various aspects of locoregional spread of Cutaneous Melanoma, as imaged with grayscale ultrasound (US) and Doppler techniques. High-resolution US allows recognition of small, clinically occult Melanomatous foci within the skin and lymph nodes. Consequently, it plays a major role in locoregional staging and follow-up of patients with Cutaneous Melanoma. We discuss the possibilities and limitations of US in the initial staging (primary Melanoma, satellite metastasis, in-transit metastasis, and lymphadenopathy), selection for sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure, patient follow-up, detection of recurrence, and US-guided intervention.

Guidelines of care for the management of primary Cutaneous Melanoma.
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2018Co-Authors: Susan M. Swetter, Jeffrey E. Gershenwald, Hensin Tsao, Christopher K. Bichakjian, Allan C. Halpern, David E. Elder, Clara Curiel-lewandrowski, Valerie Guild, Jane M Grant-kels, Timothy M. JohnsonAbstract:The incidence of primary Cutaneous Melanoma continues to increase each year. Melanoma accounts for the majority of skin cancer-related deaths, but treatment is usually curative following early detection of disease. In this American Academy of Dermatology clinical practice guideline, updated treatment recommendations are provided for patients with primary Cutaneous Melanoma (American Joint Committee on Cancer stages 0-IIC and pathologic stage III by virtue of a positive sentinel lymph node biopsy). Biopsy techniques for a lesion that is clinically suggestive of Melanoma are reviewed, as are recommendations for the histopathologic interpretation of Cutaneous Melanoma. The use of laboratory, molecular, and imaging tests is examined in the initial work-up of patients with newly diagnosed Melanoma and for follow-up of asymptomatic patients. With regard to treatment of primary Cutaneous Melanoma, recommendations for surgical margins and the concepts of staged excision (including Mohs micrographic surgery) and nonsurgical treatments for Melanoma in situ, lentigo maligna type (including topical imiquimod and radiation therapy), are updated. The role of sentinel lymph node biopsy as a staging technique for Cutaneous Melanoma is described, with recommendations for its use in clinical practice. Finally, current data regarding pregnancy and Melanoma, genetic testing for familial Melanoma, and management of dermatologic toxicities related to novel targeted agents and immunotherapies for patients with advanced disease are summarized.

sentinel lymph node biopsy for Cutaneous Melanoma
The New England Journal of Medicine, 2011Co-Authors: Jeffrey E. Gershenwald, Merrick I RossAbstract:In a patient with Cutaneous Melanoma, a sentinel-lymph-node biopsy is performed with the aid of a handheld gamma scanner and the use of isosulfan blue dye. The nodes are dissected as a group and then separated in preparation for histologic analysis.

Guidelines of care for the management of primary Cutaneous Melanoma
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2011Co-Authors: Christopher K. Bichakjian, Hensin Tsao, Allan C. Halpern, Timothy M. Johnson, Antoinette F. Hood, James M. Grichnik, Susan M. Swetter, Victoria Holloway Barbosa, Tsu Yi Chuang, Madeleine DuvicAbstract:The incidence of primary Cutaneous Melanoma has been increasing dramatically for several decades. Melanoma accounts for the majority of skin cancer–related deaths, but treatment is nearly always curative with early detection of disease. In this update of the guidelines of care, we will discuss the treatment of patients with primary Cutaneous Melanoma. We will discuss biopsy techniques of a lesion clinically suspicious for Melanoma and offer recommendations for the histopathologic interpretation of Cutaneous Melanoma. We will offer recommendations for the use of laboratory and imaging tests in the initial workup of patients with newly diagnosed Melanoma and for follow-up of asymptomatic patients. With regard to treatment of primary Cutaneous Melanoma, we will provide recommendations for surgical margins and briefly discuss nonsurgical treatments. Finally, we will discuss the value and limitations of sentinel lymph node biopsy and offer recommendations for its use in patients with primary Cutaneous Melanoma.
