In this interdisciplinary conference, an expert, international faculty will present clinical updates in melanoma biology, staging and early disease management. This includes novel approaches to melanoma detection and risk prediction. In addition, exciting advances in the treatment of patients with high-risk and metastatic disease will be discussed with a special emphasis on the multidisciplinary approach to the care of patients with melanoma. Other sessions will feature new data on the role of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy, the management of patients with brain metastases and leptomeningeal disease, duration of systemic therapy, changes in the role of surgery and the impact of various prognostic and predictive biomarkers on patient management. Concluding the day will be a session examining the latest approaches to the management of non-melanoma skin cancers. Case presentations and debates will address complex and controversial management issues in patients with high-risk and advanced melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer.

1. Analyze and apply new insights in the diagnosis and treatment of advanced melanoma.
2. Use appropriate staging modalities to correctly gauge patient risk of recurrence and death and choose the most appropriate patient care strategy.
3. Discuss evolving research and treatment options for patients with disease resistant to IO +/- BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy.
4. Recognize the value of multidisciplinary evaluation and assessment, in contributing to more effective and expedited patient treatment.
5. Assess new data on molecularly targeted therapies and novel immunotherapy in order to develop integrated treatment plans for patients with various molecular subtypes and stages of disease.
6. Incorporate salvage surgery and targeted radiation in selected patients to enhance long term outcomes.
7. Recognize the changing role in completion lymph node dissection.
8. Describe the new data on choice of combination vs. single agent immunotherapy.
