Question 1

dx w malignant melanoma today..surgery scheduled. symptoms it has spread? body check was negative. small spot on face.

Accepted Answer

Depends on depth: Malignant melanoma is categorized by its depth in the skin.  If it is superficial (melanoma in situ) it is less likely to spread, but not impossible.  At a certain depth, the dermatologist usually recommends a chest xray and sometimes a lymph node biopsy to determine spread.  Frequent return visits for skin checks are also recommended.  Be glad your melanoma was recognized and will be removed.
