Is there any cure for melanoma

Is there any cure for melanoma? This is a question many people want to ask after watching Li Xiangshan in If You Are the One 2 who lost confidence and committed suicide by jumping into the sea after suffering from melanoma. It also made many people realize for the first time that there is melanoma among skin diseases. So is melanoma really as difficult to cure as in the movie? Is there any cure for melanoma?

1. Surgical resection: It is advisable to perform early resection of the primary tumor. If the frozen section confirms that it is a melanoma, the surgery should be extended. Traditional theory believes that the resection range should include a 5cm area outside the tumor. However, in recent years, people tend to agree with Mohs's view that only a 1cm area outside the tumor is required for the face, and a 2cm area outside the tumor is sufficient for melanomas in other parts of the body. 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, regional head and neck lymph node clearance can be performed according to the drainage direction of the scalp lymph nodes, which is beneficial to improve the survival rate.

2. Physical healing: Suitable for superficial and early lesions. Laser or liquid nitrogen can be used, and radiation therapy can be used after surgery.

3. Chemical cure: For those with metastatic disease, chemotherapy can delay the deterioration of the disease.

If patients want to cure melanoma as soon as possible, in addition to paying attention to timely treatment, the choice of treatment method is also very important. Choosing the right and appropriate treatment method will help cure melanoma. Experts also remind patients that they must choose a regular hospital to treat the disease, so as to achieve the best treatment effect.
