DESCRIPTION

The primary clinical significance of melanocytic neoplasms lies in preventing deaths from melanoma through early detection, known as 'secondary prevention'. Achieving secondary prevention of melanoma requires distinguishing benign lesions from lesions likely to progress to metastatic disease without intervention and, b. identifying the latter lesions early enough to prevent progression. In this session, we delve into several challenging and contentious topics related to identifying and managing borderline melanocytic neoplasms with a focus on melanoma in situ. We will explore: a. the clinical and pathological challenges in classifying MIS, b. the risks and benefits of intensifying detection efforts for MIS, and c. the roles of emerging technologies, including AI and molecular profiling, in aiding detection and classification.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1.

Discuss the shifting paradigm regarding lentigo maligna

2.

Discuss the challenges and opportunities in classifying MIS and applying AI to melanoma diagnosis

3.

Discuss the changing landscape of melanoma education and screening
