What is the survival rate for nodular melanoma specifically? can it be caught in situ? what causes it to begin as nodular as opposed to superficial?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor: The most aggressive type of melanoma is the Nodular melanoma. The most serious type of skin cancer is Melanoma or more often referred to as malignant melanoma. It became the most exceptional type of skin cancer form because it is likely to spread among the internal organs or lymph nodes in the body unlike other skin cancer types.
