AB The  incidence  of  melanoma  is  increasing  worldwide.  In  the  United  States,  it  is  estimated  that  there  will  be  76,380  new  cases  of  invasive  melanoma  and  68,480  cases  of  melanoma  in  situ  diagnosed  in  the  year  2016.1  Despite  an  overall  decline  in  cancer  rates,  melanoma  is  one  of  the  few  cancers  with  an  increasing  incidence.2  As  summarized  in  other  chapters,  many  elements  of  contemporary  diagnosis  and  management  of  melanoma  are  guided  by  decades  of  clinical  data  and  experience,  but  there  is  evidence  of  significant  variation  in  practice  patterns.
