Background
▪Melanoma: ~10% of all primary cancer diagnoses in US ▪5th and 6th most common cancer in males and females
▪Rare cases of primary gastrointestinal (GI) melanoma ▪Reported to arise from mucosal membranes of the ▪Esophagus ▪Stomach ▪Small intestine ▪Colon ▪Rectum ▪Anus
Background
▪60% of metastatic skin melanomas have GI involvement at autopsy
▪HOWEVER, several studies reported GI melanoma in the absence of skin melanoma → But HOW?? ▪Stem cells differentiating into melanocytes in the GI tract ▪Cell migration
Primary GI Melanoma
▪Most studies of GI melanoma have been based on case series ▪Population-based cancer registries allow for examination of rare cancers over long periods of time
Study objective
▪Compare characteristics, treatment, and survival between skin melanoma and primary GI melanoma ▪Including sites of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, and anus

Conclusions
▪Incidence of GI melanoma has increased over time ▪Skin melanoma has better prognosis overall and at every stage compared to GI melanoma ▪Local tumor excision is no better than major resection for GI melanoma
Limitations & Strengths
Limitations
▪Small number of GI melanomas in individual sites
▪Cases with GI melanoma may have undiagnosed primary skin melanoma
▪Chemotherapy and radiation variables have sensitivity of 68% and 80%, respectively
Strengths
▪ SEER data provide detailed information about cancer stage and treatment at time of diagnosis
▪One of the first population based studies that characterizes the epidemiology, treatment, and survival of primary GI melanoma that includes sites of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, and anus compared to skin melanoma.
