Very simply, melanoma is skin cancer and phase IV means that is has spread to other areas of the body, such as bones, organs, and lymph nodes far away from the original tumor.
When cancer gets to this point the consensus is that its "incurable."
The American Cancer Society has a breakdown of the treatment of Melanoma by stage.
In my father's case, they could not locate the "primary" location of the cancer.
