An estimated 38,890 Americans will be diagnosed with kidney cancer and 12,840 will die of this disease in the United States in 2006. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) constitutes approximately 2% of all malignancies, with a median age at diagnosis of 65 years. Smoking and obesity are among the risk factors for RCC development, and tumor grade, local extent of the tumor, presence of regional nodal metastases, and evidence of metastatic disease at presentation are the most important prognostic determinants of 5-year survival. These guidelines discuss evaluation, staging, treatment, and management after treatment.

In 2006, an estimated 62,190 new cases of melanoma will be diagnosed, and approximately 7910 patients will die of the disease in the United States. The incidence of melanoma continues to increase dramatically. Risk factors for melanoma include family history, dysplastic nevi, and fair skin that sunburns easily; however, melanoma can occur in any ethnic group and in people who have not had substantial sun exposure. The NCCN Melanoma guidelines attempt to distill and simplify an enormous body of knowledge and experience into fairly simple management algorithms.
