Almost anything: The symptoms depend on where it spreads. For example, if it spreads to the brain, the headaches or seizures could be symptoms. If it spreads to the bones, then pain and fractures can be seen. The important thing is to make sure these patients are working with their oncologist to provide the best care of for their circumstance.

Metastatic melanoma: Melanoma can be very aggressive and spread via the bloodstream to various parts of the body such as brain, lungs, liver, and bones. The location and extent of the metastases determines the symptoms. Metastases may not produce symptoms until they are advanced. A patient diagnosed with a high risk stage of melanoma needs screening procedures to evaluate for metastases.
