Melanoma; good treat: Melanoma has many good treatments.Surgery has a limited role in recurrent melanoma. So you need to see a medical oncologist, preferable a melanoma specialist who can offer medical treatments of which there are many effective treatments discovered during the past 5 years. If you can not find someone in your community, go to a regional Cancer Center nearby and ask for an Expert in Melanoma treatment
