Melanoma Innovations

 Although substantial efforts are dedicated to the development of melanoma treatment, the mainstay of treatment remains surgical excision. This treatment could also be curative for patients with early disease and for a few patients with regional lymph gland metastases but features a less defined role in patients with distant metastases. Other treatments, including adjuvant therapy for resected regional disease or chemotherapy or immunotherapy for metastatic disease, provide only modest improvement in outcome. Therefore, it's essential that melanoma be detected early. Early detection is that the major factor liable for progress in melanoma treatment during the past 30 years and remains the foremost promising avenue for short-term and medium-term progress. To improve our early detection activities, we must inspect and recognize the curable melanomas once they appear on the skin. These early detection activities are often done by both clinicians and patients.
