Treatment patterns of anal melanoma in the era of immunotherapy
Background
Anal melanoma (AM) is a rare and aggressive cancer with poor survival and absence of standard treatment guidelines.
Methods
This study analyzed 762 cases of AM from the National Cancer Database during 2004–2021. The primary objectives were to evaluate treatment patterns and survival outcomes before and after the FDA approval of immunotherapy (IT) in 2011.
Results
The use of IT increased significantly after 2011 in patients with stage IV AM (14 %–58 %). Abdominoperineal resection (APR) rates declined post-IT (49 %–31 %, p < 0.0001), in both community and academic centers. For patients treated with IT, median overall survival for stage III rose from 20.3 to 27.2 months (p = 0.0057) and nearly doubled for stage IV (6.7–13.3 months, p < 0.0001). No survival benefit was observed in earlier stages (p = 0.5712).
Conclusions
IT use in advanced AM is increasing, correlating with longer survival and reduced APR rates in later stage patients.
