Staging-only approach misses patients with aggressive tumor biology • While AJCC clinicopathologic factors are helpful clinically, the majority of deaths occur in early stage disease 1-5 Melanoma Deaths • Prognostic accuracy needs to be Stage at Diagnosis by Stage at Diagnosis improved as it has direct implications on patient follow up Stage I Stage I • Newer therapies and regional Stage II 34% interventions have shown 80% 26% effectiveness in the adjuvant setting Stage II 12% • Early intervention is consistently 8% shown to be a significant (or the Stage III most significant) predictor of Stage III 40% response 6 Excludes Stage IV Excludes Stage IV 1 AJCC v7 J Clin Oncol 2009 ; 2 SEER data release 2017; 3 Morton et al.

ONCOLOGY 2018 4 DecisionDx-Melanoma was developed to assess risk of recurrence independent from traditional clinico-pathologic factors using tumor biology Class 1: 1A Lowest risk Quantifies expression Low risk of melanoma recurrence within 5 of 31 genes from 1B Patients primary tumor using RT- years Low risk with PCR Stage I-III Applies a validated melanoma Class 2: 2A algorithm Increased risk High risk of melanoma Accurately classifies recurrence within 5 2B patients as low or high years Highest risk risk Gerami et al.
