Variable survival fi: It is a very heterogeneous disease, so there is no one figure which will help you. If you give us the Breslow thickness of your nodular melanoma, we can give you a survival figure corresponding to that thickness. In general, Melanoma is diagnosed as stage 1 or 2 in more than 90% of patients, here the overall survival is over 80%. Once it starts to spread(stage 3) the survival drops to 50% level .
