1 Characteristics, treatment patterns, and survival outcomes of primary GI melanoma cases compared to cutaneous melanoma, SEER: Amanda Kahl, MPH Mary E. Charlton, PhD, Imran Hassan, MD, Paolo Goffredo, MD, Catherine Chioreso, MPH, & Chi Lin, MD Oral Presentation, NAACCR June 14, 2018

2 Background Melanoma: ~10% of all primary cancer diagnoses in US 5 th and 6 th 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

3 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

4 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

5 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

6 INCLUSION CRITERIA Diagnosed between Histology of GI melanoma sites: Esophagus (C150-C159) Stomach (C160-C169) Small intestine (C170-C179) Colon (C180-C189, C260) Rectum (C199, C209) Anus (C210, C211, C212, C218) Skin melanoma: C440-C449 First primary malignant melanoma: - GI melanoma N=828 - Skin melanoma N=304,797 Not reported via autopsy or death certificate - GI melanoma N=827 - Skin melanoma N=304,082 Ages GI melanoma N=827 - Skin melanoma N=302,194 Excluded: GI melanoma N=1 Skin melanoma N=715 Excluded: GI melanoma N=0 Skin melanoma N=1,888

7 Methods SEER*Stat used to extract patient, tumor and treatment variables Statistical analysis performed in SAS Chi-square tests for bivariate analyses Cause-specific Survival Cox proportional hazard models Incidence rates ( ) were calculated in SEER*Stat and analyzed in Joinpoint

27 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

28 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.
