Pandemic medicine: the management of advanced melanoma during COVID-19.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic cancer patients present a unique challenge, as they are often immunosuppressed or subject to treatment-related toxicities that may cause severe disease manifestations. The practical impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of advanced melanoma warrants further consideration. Restrictions on the US healthcare system to mitigate COVID-19 transmission have significantly altered melanoma management practices from the initial diagnosis of primary cutaneous disease to systemic treatment for advanced and metastatic presentations. We herein report our experience and recommendations for this patient population, highlighting the importance patient-centered planning based on tumor characteristics, resource availability and the local state of COVID-19 control.

期刊介绍： Skin cancer is on the rise. According to the World Health Organization, 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year. While early-stage melanoma is usually relatively easy to treat, once disease spreads prognosis worsens considerably. Therefore, research into combating advanced-stage melanoma is a high priority. New and emerging therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, B-RAF and KIT inhibitors, antiangiogenic agents and novel chemotherapy approaches hold promise for prolonging survival, but the search for a cure is ongoing. Melanoma Management publishes high-quality peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of melanoma, from prevention to diagnosis and from treatment of early-stage disease to late-stage melanoma and metastasis. The journal presents the latest research findings in melanoma research and treatment, together with authoritative reviews, cutting-edge editorials and perspectives that highlight hot topics and controversy in the field. Independent drug evaluations assess newly approved medications and their role in clinical practice. Key topics covered include: Risk factors, prevention and sun safety education Diagnosis, staging and grading Surgical excision of melanoma lesions Sentinel lymph node biopsy Biological therapies, including immunotherapy and vaccination Novel chemotherapy options Treatment of metastasis Prevention of recurrence Patient care and quality of life.
