When detected early, melanoma is highly treatable. But once it has spread throughout the body, or when melanoma metastasized, it becomes much more difficult to treat and can be fatal. Read in this post about metastatic melanoma symptoms and its warning signs.
Melanoma is aggressive cancer with a high likelihood of metastasis. Melanoma metastasize means that the melanoma has spread from its initial site in the body. This occurs in stage 3 and stage 4 of the four stages of melanoma.
Melanoma is the most dangerous and rare form of skin cancer; but, with early prevention, most melanomas are treatable and non-life threatening. According to Cancer.net, the 5-year survival rate for early-stage melanoma is 98%. Once it has spread to the nearby lymph nodes, the survival rate decreases to 63%, and if it has spread to other parts of the body, the survival rate lowers to 17%.
