Risk Stratification Among Individuals Who Have Many Moles on Their Skin
United States73 participantsStarted 2017-03-09
Plain-language summary
The investigators are doing this study to improve our ability to identify which people with many moles on their skin are most likely to develop skin melanoma. The investigators hope to identify features of moles that are associated with melanoma risk. The investigators hope to use this information to customize and tailor melanoma screening to the individual patient based on a better estimate of their individual risk.

* Cases: diagnoses of unequivocal invasive cutaneous melanomas (AJCC Stages I-IV) confirmed by MSKCC pathology on or after April 2016
* Cases: completion of surgical treatment of primary melanoma
* Ability to sign or verbally consent to the informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:

* Known germline high-penetrance melanoma predisposition mutation (that is, CDKN2A, CDK4, and BAP1)
* Cases: history of invasive cutaneous melanoma (AJCC Stages I-IV) not confirmed by MSKCC pathology
* History of acrolentiginous type of cutaneous melanoma or history of mucosal melanoma
* Cases and controls: prior administration of systemic medications known to modify nevus phenotype, including but not limited to: MEK inhibitors (trametinib, cobimetinib, etc.), BRAF inhibitors (vemurafenib, dabrafenib, etc.), and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab, nivolumab, atezolizumab, ipilimumab, etc.). Controls: history of Stage 0-IV melanoma confirmed by MSKCC pathology
* History of limb amputation or other condition (e.g., tattoos, burns) per investigator discretion that would modify nevus phenotype
* Physical inability to undergo total body photography or refle…
