Introduction

In 2014, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) reported that melanoma was the seventh most common diagnosed malignancy across Canada. Melanoma represents less than 5 % of all skin cancers, but accounts for the most attributable deaths from skin cancer. In 2014, 6500 new cases and 1050 deaths from melanoma were estimated to have occurred. Between 2001 and 2010, the incidence rates of melanoma increased by 2.2% per year for men and by 2.1 % per year for women [1].Presentation
