It is an urgent matter: in Western countries in particular, melanoma is increasing faster than any other cancer. In the U.S., the number of new cases of melanoma has more than doubled in the past 20 years.

Another surgeon is developing new methods to treat melanoma that has spread to internal organs, by using radiofrequency energy to destroy the melanoma cells. Some of the team members are providing innovative new treatments for melanoma, including vaccine protocols, gene therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. The medical team is assisted by a nursing staff with great experience in taking care of the physical and emotional needs of melanoma patients.

Peter's FUNd Racer is a ski race for all ages and abilities. The primary focus of the event is to raise money for melanoma research. Malignant melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer. The number of people who develop melanoma is increasing faster than any other cancer. Deaths from complications of this disease are increasing at a faster rate than deaths from any other form of cancer except lung cancer. On May 23rd, 1999, melanoma claimed the life of Peter M. Newton at the age of 46. In addition to raising funds for melanoma research, contributions are also made to the Vermont Respite House in Williston, Vermont and the Sugarbush Ski Patrol that Peter served proudly on for twelve years. The secondary focus of Peter's FUNd Racer is to challenge yourself just a little and to have fun!

CHOROIDAL MELANOMA Malignant Choroidal Melanoma SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS The benign choroidal melanoma, referred to clinically as a choroidal nevus, appears as a flat or slightly elevated slate gray lesion of the posterior fundus. The margins are typically indistinct, and often there are overlying areas of drusen noted within the nevus. In most instances, choroidal nevi remain under two disc diameters (DD) in size, although they may attain sizes of up to 5 DD in some cases. The malignant choroidal melanoma, in contrast, appears as a mottled, often significantly elevated lesion, ranging in coloration from white to greenish-gray. As it grows, it may break through Bruch's membrane, taking on a mushroom-like appearance. Serous retinal detachments are commonly associated with this presentation. You may also observe overlying orange pigmentation known as lipofuscin. Most malignant melanomas are over 10 DD in size at the time of diagnosis. Most patients with choroidal melanomas are asymptomatic. However, should a significantly large lesion occur in proximity to the macula, the patient may present with metamorphopsia, acuity loss, visual field deficit and/or a hyperopic refractive shift. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY A choroidal melanoma represents a focal accumulation of melanocytes at the level of the uvea. In a choroidal nevus, these melanocytes are normal in both form and function. In malignant melanoma, the cells undergo neoplasia, reproducing at a faster rate than usual and resulting in a dysfunctional tumor mass. This tumor is capable of not only local extension but also of distant metastasis. While choroidal nevi do not typically lead to this type of damage, it is believed that they can convert to malignancy; the rate of malignant transformation over a 10-year period is estimated at 21 in 100,000.

About PDQ General Information About Melanoma Melanoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the skin cells called melanocytes (cells that color the skin). Melanocytes are found throughout the lower part of the epidermis . They produce melanin , the pigment that gives skin its natural color. When skin is exposed to the sun, melanocytes produce more pigment, causing the skin to tan, or darken. The skin is the body’s largest organ . It protects against heat, sunlight, injury, and infection . The skin has 2 main layers: the epidermis (upper or outer layer) and the dermis (lower or inner layer). When melanoma starts in the skin, the disease is called cutaneous melanoma. This PDQ summary is about cutaneous (skin) melanoma. Melanoma may also occur in the eye and is called intraocular or ocular melanoma. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Intraocular (Eye) Melanoma Treatment for more information.)

More Information General Information Melanoma of the uveal tract (iris, ciliary body, and choroid), although rare, is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. The mean age-adjusted incidence of uveal melanoma in the United States is approximately 4.3 new cases per million population. [ ] The age-adjusted incidence of this cancer has remained stable for the past 25 years. The median age at diagnosis ranges from 55 to 62 years. Several factors likely play a role in the development of uveal melanoma. Host characteristics, such as light pigmentation (skin, hair, eye color) and genetic factors, as well as environmental exposures (sunlight, chemical), have been associated with increased risk in some studies. [ Melanomas can arise in the anterior uveal tract (iris) or the posterior uveal tract (ciliary body or choroid). Iris melanomas have the best prognosis, whereas melanomas of the ciliary body have the worst. Most uveal tract melanomas originate in the choroid. The ciliary body is less commonly a site of origin, and the iris is the least common. The comparatively low incidence of this tumor in the iris has been attributed to the characteristic features of iris melanomas, i.e., they tend to be small, slow growing, and relatively dormant in comparison with their posterior counterparts. Iris melanomas rarely metastasize. [

Melan pigment is produced by these cells when exposed to sunlight as part of the tanning process. Regular moles contain groups of melanocytes. Melanoma begins when an individual melanocyte loses its ability to regulate its own growth, like a copy machine with a broken counting mechanism that continues to make copies even when you keep pushing the stop button. With time the melanoma grows. The earlier you find it and the thinner it is, the better the chance of complete cure. How common is melanoma?

Graham Foundation Fellows Grant for Melanoma Research is a unique addition to the growing program of AACR Research Fellowships. The Fellows Grant will support innovative research by a meritorious young investigator dedicated to pursuing the prevention and cure of melanoma by presenting the Fellow with the research funds to pursue an independent line of investigation within the context of his/her current Fellowship placement. The grant will allow the fellow to acquire the equipment and supplies needed to pursue a new direction in his or her research program, to develop preliminary data to support a future project, or to investigate a new technique that otherwise would not be possible in the absence of this funding. Through this new source of funding, the AACR and The William S. Graham Foundation for Melanoma Research seek to encourage the mentorship of senior scientists, to support talented early-careers scientists in making the transition to junior faculty status, and to promote the pursuit of innovative and promising melanoma research.

Conquering Melanoma: Prevent It, Spot It, Treat It What Is Melanoma? The most dangerous form of skin cancer, melanoma begins in a type of skin cell called a melanocyte. Melanocytes produce the skin pigment known as melanin, which is responsible for our natural skin color. When exposed to sunlight, these skin cells produce large amounts of melanin as part of the tanning process, helping to protect the skin from burning. Pigmented markings of the skin are known as moles, which are groups of melanocytes in the skin. while moles are generally harmless, they can become cancerous. A Problem on the Rise Although melanoma accounts for only about 4 percent of all skin cancer cases, it is the leading cause of all skin cancer-related deaths. In the United States, the rise in the number of people with melanoma is second only to lung cancer in women. The lifetime risk of developing melanoma has risen and continues to rise. Who Is At Risk? The main cause of melanoma is thought to be the sun, through exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. People with fair skin and who tend to sunburn easily especially those with red or blond hair may be at greatest risk because their skin cells have less melanin. Reducing Your Risk Since melanoma is caused by the sun, it makes sense that people should try to avoid or protect themselves from the sun's harmful rays. This is especially important between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., when the sun's rays are the strongest. Protect yourself by wearing wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Whenever you are outdoors for an extended period, us a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher on all exposed skin even in the winter and carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions.
