A member asked:
Diagnosed with melanoma in situ a year ago. what are my chances of reoccurance? can it come back and spread without forming a visable lesion? paranoi
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cured: In situ melanoma is extremely localized. If resected with a least 1 cm. margin of normal skin, this is then a cured lesion. The potential for a new and distinct lesion to appear is always a possibility. No chance that the in-situ lesion could have spread.
