Melanoma Treatment

Melanoma treatment typically involves several approaches, depending on the cancer's stage. Early-stage melanoma may be treated with surgery to remove the tumor and surrounding tissue. For more advanced melanoma, options include immunotherapy, which boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer, targeted therapy that attacks specific cancer cell mutations, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Newer approaches often involve personalized medicine, tailoring treatment based on individual characteristics. Ongoing monitoring and follow-up are essential to catching any recurrence early. Working closely with a healthcare team ensures the most effective treatment plan for each patient.
