How harmful is melanoma

In daily life, many people don't know much about melanoma. In fact, melanoma is also a type of malignant tumor. Therefore, when you suffer from melanoma, you must seek treatment in time. If you don't take treatment early, it will bring us a lot of harm. Let's learn about it together.

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 can be malignant from the beginning, but about 25% to 40% are caused by the malignant transformation of skin moles. Darkening of pigment, increase in size, pain, itching, ulceration, inflammation, bleeding, and the appearance of surrounding areas are all signs of malignant transformation 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.
