Melanoma in the United States – 2010 Estimates
New Cases
114,900
Deaths Per Year

5-Year Localized Survival Rate*
99%
5-Year Overall Survival Rate*
91%
* The 5-year survival rates represent persons who are living 5 years after diagnosis, whether disease-free, in remission, or under treatment. They do not imply that 5-year survivors have been permanently cured of cancer. Localized cancer represents cancer that, at the time of diagnosis, had not spread to additional sites within the body. Typically the earlier a cancer is detected and diagnosed, the more successful the treatment, thus enhancing the survival rate.
For localized melanoma, the 5-year survival rate is 99%; survival rates for regional and distant stage diseases are 65% and 16%, respectively. About 80% of melanomas are diagnosed at a localized stage.
