Effectiveness of treatment for stage 2 melanoma
How does Stage 2 melanoma affect the body?
Stage 2 melanoma is the third stage of skin cancer, so growths have spread from the epidermis (the topmost layer of skin) down through the dermis (the next layer of skin) and in some cases, into the underlying fat and tissue. Sometimes, cells have begun to spread through the skin and enter other parts of the body.
What is the life expectancy with melanoma Stage 4?
The 10-year survival rate ranges from 24 to 68 percent. Stage 4 melanoma means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as the lungs, brain, or other organs and tissue. It may have also spread to lymph nodes that are a good distance from the original tumor. As such, stage 4 melanoma is often hard to cure with current treatments.
What are the symptoms of Stage 2 melanoma?
Symptoms of stage 2 melanoma are growths on the skin. These growths usually appear as a change in a mole that you already have or as a new skin growth.
What are the five stages of melanoma?
The earliest stage melanomas are stage 0 (melanoma in situ), and then range from stages I (1) through IV (4). Some stages are split further, using capital letters (A, B, etc.). As a rule, the lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. A higher number, such as stage IV, means cancer has spread more.
