What are the hazards of melanoma

The early symptoms of melanoma are not very obvious, which is a disaster for some people who think it doesn't matter. From clinical experience, most of the friends who go to the hospital for examination are in the middle or late stage of the disease. This brings great physical and mental suffering to melanoma patients, and this suffering is terrible.

1. Skin melanoma is highly harmful, grows rapidly, and has a poor prognosis. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely and correct treatment are very important. Treatment emphasizes early detection and local excision. However, the clinical manifestations of skin melanoma are complex and easy to misdiagnose, especially amelanotic melanoma. If not diagnosed early, melanoma lesions will develop aggressively. Early melanoma patients may have lymphatic metastasis and late-stage hematogenous metastasis. If melanoma lesions are located at the extremities, finger (toe) or limb amputation is often required.

2. Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. It is more common in the elderly, especially women. Melanoma is malignant from the beginning, but it is caused by the malignant transformation of skin pigmented moles. Darkening of pigment, increase in size, pain, itching, ulceration, inflammation, bleeding, and the appearance of surrounding spots are all signs of malignant transformation of melanoma. These are all harmful manifestations of melanoma.

3. Melanoma is a malignant tumor that originates from the neuroectoderm and is produced in melanocytes or their mother cells. Its incidence rate is increasing year by year worldwide. It is worth noting that chronic skin ulcers that do not heal for a long time, unidentified growths, etc., even if there are no obvious signs of melanoma, still need to be handled with caution. The possibility of harm from melanoma should be considered, and pathological examinations should be performed in time to avoid misdiagnosis and irreversible consequences.
