1 Introduction Cutaneous melanoma ranks 5th among all cancers in terms of estimated new case rates in men and women (6% and 4%, respectively) [1]. Despite that there is disagreement as to whether this is an increase in the true occurrence of disease or in the diagnosis, it has been determined that CM, which was once rare, has increased 6-fold compared to 40 years ago [2]. The risk of cutaneous melanoma generally increases with age and is more common in older populations.
