A member asked:
Specific to nodular melanoma. what % are diagnosed as stage 1 or 2? previously answered on health tap as 85% but that appears to be all types together
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably 60-70%: Nodular Melanomas tend to be more advanced, so the percentage of stage 1 and 2 will be lower.
