Although the incidence of malignant melanoma is still increasing rapidly, the overall mortality rate has increased only slightly, indicating that most of the melanoma being diagnosed is treated effectively by surgical resection. In this issue, authors will address a wide-variety of topics, including pathology, new staging systems, molecular analysis, sentinel lymph node dissection, radiation therapy, isolated limb perfusion, surgical management of systemic metastases, and imaging techniques.
