Patients with stage IV melanoma have historically had poor prognosis with
median survival from time of initial stage IV diagnosis of 6-7.5 months
and 5-year survival of <10%.5,6,7 The landscape of
treatment options and prognosis for patients with stage IV melanoma has
and continues to rapidly evolve with marked gains made. Therefore, the
Melanoma Expert Panel from AJCC has concluded that it was premature to
perform a broad-based analytic initiative in the stage IV melanoma.
