What is Melanoma?
200+
cases
Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer. It originates from melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin, and can metastasize quickly if not detected early. It often appears as a new mole or as a change in an existing mole (color, shape, size).
Benefits of early diagnosis and removal:
- High cure rates when treated in the early stages.
- Prevention of spread and metastasis.
- Definitive treatment through surgical excision when the cancer has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs.
- Improvement in quality and longevity of life.
How the procedure is performed
Dermatoscopy, biopsy, and imaging tests.
The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the case.
Excision of the lesion with adequate safety margins.
- After histological confirmation, further surgery may include a wide local excision and sentinel lymph node biopsy.
- In some cases, lymph node dissection may be necessary.
- For extensive lesions, chemotherapy or immunotherapy may be required.
Recovery After the Procedure
Return to simple daily activities is possible within a few days, although recovery may take longer in cases of extensive excision.
Includes meticulous cleaning, dressing changes, and regular follow-up with the doctor.
Usually performed within 10–14 days, depending on the location and size of the excision.
The scar may be more noticeable compared to other procedures, but it generally improves over time and can be further refined with aesthetic treatments if needed.
