Survival curves from the AJCC Melanoma Staging Database comparing (A) the different T categories and (B) the stage groupings for stages I and II melanoma. Balch C M et al. JCO 2009;27:6199-6206 ©2009 by American Society of Clinical Oncology Depth Ulceration Nodes: Number Macro/Mi cro

Localized Melanoma (I-II) Wide Excision to appropriate margins (0.5;1;2) SNLBx (consider in >0.76mm) Monitoring Risk reduction
7
Locally Advanced Melanoma (III) Lymph node management -- Completion dissection in SNL positive - MSLT-II (2022) Dissection in clinically positive nodes Adjuvant Interferon IFN, peg-IFN PFS benefit, no survival benefit Toxicities Adjuvant Ipilimumab

MSLT-1 SLNBx vs Observation

5 yr OS ~60% both IFN and observation or vaccine Median DFS ~25 36 mo Adjuvant Therapy: Interferon Alpha OS DFS
10
Better Outcomes with Autoimmunity n = 200 26% autoimmune phenomena (antibodies, vitiligo, others) Adjuvant Therapy: Interferon Alpha

Adjuvant Ipilimumab 10mg/kg q3W x4 Then q3M x 3 years

Adjuvant Ipilimumab - Toxicities
13
Metastatic Melanoma – Chemotherapy and First Generation Immunotherapy (1 st gen) Immunotherapy (IL-2, IFN) known for decades to produce sometimes dramatic responses in a small minority of patients High Dose IL-2 can produce longstanding remission in ~5% of patients, with substantial potential toxicity Chemotherapy – several options exist with response rates in 10-20%, none long lasting, all with toxicities Chemoimmunotherapy – many combinations of chemotherapy and various schedules of IFN and IL2 have been described. Overall there is no apparent survival benefit to combinations. Higher response rate higher toxicity
14
Chemotherapy Nab-Paclitaxel DTIC/TMZ Carbo/Taxol
15
2015 Nivolumab Nivolumab with Ipilimumab Ipilimumab adjuvant T-Vec 2016 Vemurafenib and Cobimetinib Interferon alpha Drugs approved for metastatic melanoma over 46 years - Progress where the need is greatest

37
What to do first? Factors to consider: BRAF status – if wild type only immunotherapy is available (NRAS, cKIT) Disease Burden: if quick reduction in tumor volume is required – targeted agents are first line. If disease burden is low – start with immunotherapy, may provide long term responses Patient status Good PS – consider combination therapies (consider testing for PD-L1 expression) Poor PS – single agents, no Ipilimumab Trials ongoing
38
Tissue Analysis DNA RNA MiRNA Protein Target A Target B Target C Relapse immunotherapy

Melanoma 2016– new tools based on new understanding Immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitors, CTLA-4 inhibitors, IL- 2, IFN) Targeted Therapies (BRAF, MEK, KIT) 10 new approved therapies and combinations since 2010 Incorporating new therapies in the adjuvant setting Combinations Management of resistance Sequencing of therapies Molecularly guided therapy (and Biomarkers) Future Directions:
