Melanoma - symptom, Treatment of Melanoma

Melanoma Information

The symptoms of Melanoma are Chloasma and MalignantMelanoma.

Chloasma is dark (brown) patches over the cheeks, temples and nose. Commonly seen in pregnancy. MalignantMelanoma is a cancer that develops from melanocytes, the pigment cells in the skin

Occurence of Melanoma

  • It is commoner in the white-skinned races than it is in Indians, but is not unknown here.
  • Develops after increased exposure of very fair skin to long hours of sunlight.
    Since it begins as a pigmented skin lesion, it may be mistaken for a mole.
  • If a mole is recent or has recently changed appearance, a melanoma must be ruled out.

Course of Illness

Melanomas spread via the lymphatics and bloodstream.They can therefore metastasize to distant regions: lung, liver, brain.

Treatment for Mealnoma

  • Excisional biopsy in which the entire suspicious area is removedestablishes the diagnosis and helps plan the subsequent treatment
  • Removal of involved lymph nodes and/or chemotherapy. Melanoma that has spread has no cure at present.
