Surgical treatment of melanoma

Melanoma is a common malignant tumor, but it does not mean that it cannot be cured. Patients with early treatment have great hope of cure. Here we will introduce the surgical treatment methods of melanoma:

Surgical treatments for melanoma include:

Biopsy surgery: For patients suspected of having malignant melanoma, the lesion together with the surrounding 0.5cm to 1cm of normal skin and subcutaneous fat should be removed in one piece for pathological examination. If it is confirmed to be malignant melanoma, the need for additional extensive resection will be determined based on the depth of infiltration.

Primary lesion resection surgery; regional lymph node dissection, which is generally performed as a preventive lymph node dissection, can better improve the patient's survival time.

Palliative resection surgery: For patients with large lesions and distant metastases who are not suitable for radical surgery, debulking or palliative resection may be considered to relieve ulcer bleeding or pain as long as anatomical conditions permit.

The above is an introduction to the surgical treatment of melanoma. I hope everyone will have a correct understanding of the treatment of melanoma and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment plan.
