How terrible is the harm of melanoma

Melanoma is a common disease in clinical practice. This disease can be divided into benign and malignant. Benign melanoma is generally not difficult to treat and will not cause much harm. However, malignant melanoma is not only difficult to treat, but also very harmful to patients. So, what harm does melanoma bring?

1. Malignant melanoma not only harms the health of the skin, but also endangers other abdominal organs. When tumor cells metastasize to abdominal organs, they can cause organ melanoma in the mesentery, liver, spleen and other organs; if the tumor cells of malignant melanoma enter the human blood, the patient will suffer from serious symptoms such as "stroke", "cerebral infarction" and "pulmonary embolism". Moreover, if there is a tumor thrombus in the heart, it can easily enter the coronary artery with the blood circulation and cause acute myocardial infarction.

2. Malignant melanoma is also very harmful to organs such as the lungs and brain. This is a common type of harm caused by melanoma. Malignant melanoma can gradually spread to surrounding lymph nodes or even multiple parts of the body. In the late stage, it can also metastasize to important organs such as the lungs, brain, and bones through the blood. When malignant melanoma cells spread to lymph nodes in nearby areas, regional lymph nodes may swell, increase in number, or fuse into masses.

3. Malignant melanoma causes the most damage to the patient's skin, and in severe cases it can even threaten the patient's life. Ninety percent of the primary lesions of malignant melanoma are on the surface of the skin. Generally, patients can find melanin or pigmented nevus on the skin at the lesion site in the early stage of the disease, and the pigmentation here gradually increases and the color deepens. Then the lesion damage continues to expand, and the hardness of the local skin increases. Some patients will also directly develop rapidly growing melanin nodules.

Melanoma is a highly malignant tumor. Although this disease can be divided into benign and malignant, the harm caused by melanoma cannot be ignored. Even for benign melanoma, patients should pay attention to scientific treatment as soon as possible, otherwise the condition may continue to worsen and threaten life safety.
