Melanoma
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops in the melanocytes, the cells that produce the pigment melanin. It is the most serious type of skin cancer and can spread quickly to other parts of the body. If detected early, melanoma can usually be treated successfully. Early warning signs of melanoma include changes in the size, shape, or color of a mole, and the appearance of a new mole. If you notice any changes in your skin, seek medical attention right away.
Common Treatment Methods
Common treatments for melanoma may vary , depending on the stage of the cancer, but may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Surgery is often the initial treatment option for melanoma, and involves removal of the cancerous tissue. Radiation therapy involves using high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells. Targeted therapy uses drugs to block the growth of cancer cells. Immunotherapy helps the body's own immune system fight cancer. All of these treatments may be used alone or in combination to treat melanoma.
