Melanoma in situ is also called stage 0 melanoma. It means there are cancer cells in the top layer of skin (the epidermis). The melanoma cells are all contained in the area in which they started to develop and have not grown into deeper layers of the skin. Some doctors call in situ cancers pre cancer.

Stay on the Lookout – Melanomas in situ are usually flat and asymmetrical, with irregular borders. They can be black, brown, tan, gray or even pink. In contrast to what Jim had, invasive melanomas are tumors that have penetrated beyond the epidermis into the deeper layer of the skin called the dermis.
Estimates for 2016 in the United States were 76,380 new cases of invasive melanoma and 68,480 new cases of melanoma in situ.
There are 4 main types of melanoma skin cancer – superficial spreading, nodular, lentigo maligna and acral lentiginous.
Carcinoma in situ refers to cancer in which abnormal cells have not spread beyond where they first formed. The words “in situ” mean “in its original place.” These in situ cells are not malignant, or cancerous. However, they can sometime become cancerous and spread to other nearby locations.
In Stage I melanoma, the cancer cells are in both the first and second layers of the skin—the epidermis and the dermis. A melanoma tumor is considered Stage I if it is up to 2 mm thick, and it may or may not have ulceration. There is no evidence the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or distant sites (metastasis).
Prognosis: Stage 0 melanoma, or melanoma in situ, is highly curable. There is very little risk for recurrence or metastasis. The 5-year survival rate as of 2018 for local melanoma, including Stage 0, is 98.4%. Click here to learn more about melanoma survival rates.
The lesion can grow slowly for 5 to 15 years in the in situ form before becoming invasive. The exact percentage of lentigo maligna lesions that progress to invasive lentigo maligna melanoma is unknown but is estimated to be less than 30% to 50%.
