Key take-aways: Cutaneous melanoma (CM) metastasis to the central nervous system (CNS) has a poor prognosis; however, patients generally experience better outcomes if CNS metastases are detected and treated earlier when the patient is still asymptomatic.

Key Points: 
  • Key take-aways: Cutaneous melanoma (CM) metastasis to the central nervous system (CNS) has a poor prognosis; however, patients generally experience better outcomes if CNS metastases are detected and treated earlier when the patient is still asymptomatic.
  • CNS imaging is not routinely recommended for patients with early-stage CM (American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th edition (AJCC8) stage I–II), yet approximately 14% of patients with stage II melanoma will develop CNS metastases.
  • This study demonstrated that the DecisionDx-Melanoma test can identify patients with earlier-stage melanoma who have a higher risk of CNS metastasis within the first three years post-diagnosis.
  • These higher-risk patients may benefit from more frequent imaging surveillance to identify CNS metastases earlier to improve patient survival.

New Publication Shows DecisionDx®-SCC Identifies High-Risk Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Who Are Likely to Benefit from Adjuvant Radiation Therapy and Those Who Can Consider Deferring Treatment Based on Biological Risk of Metastasis

A DecisionDx-SCC Class 2B result was the only independent risk factor that successfully identified patients who would most benefit from ART.

Key Points: 
  • A DecisionDx-SCC Class 2B result was the only independent risk factor that successfully identified patients who would most benefit from ART.
  • Class 2B patients who received ART showed a significant deceleration in disease progression compared to Class 2B patients who did not receive ART.
  • DecisionDx-SCC identified patients who were less likely to show a significant benefit from ART in controlling disease progression.
  • Given the low risk of metastasis for Class 1 patients, in addition to the lower likelihood of ART benefit, Class 1 patients may consider deferring treatment.
