Q: how long does it take nodular melanoma to reach stage 2?. a year or a few months?

: Nodular melanomas are considered one of the fastest growing melanomas and grow both above and below the skin surface. The rate of growth varies among patients and could take months to a year to reach stage 2. A dermatologist could answer your question best.
