How many years do melanoma patients survive

Malignant melanoma is a type of malignant tumor. The patient's survival period is closely related to the pathological type of the tumor, the tumor stage, the patient's physical condition, and whether active treatment is given.

There is no clear answer to how long you can live with early melanoma, but it is related to many factors. Melanoma is a type of malignant tumor that is mainly distributed on the surface of the skin and has a high mortality rate. It should be diagnosed and treated in time. It is a malignant tumor originating from melanocytes in the pigmented areas of the skin, mucous membranes, eyes and central nervous system. Sunlight exposure is a risk factor, as are family history, the occurrence of malignant nevi, large congenital melanocytic nevi and dysplastic nevus syndrome.

After surgical treatment of malignant melanoma, the patient's 5-year survival rate can reach 60% to 80%. However, if the tumor is not discovered and treated in time, then in the late stage, even with surgical treatment, the 5-year survival rate is less than 5%, and metastasis and recurrence are very likely to occur. Therefore, combined with the treatment of Chinese medicine after surgery, residual lesions can be cleared to prolong the survival of melanoma patients.
