A member asked:
Good evening doctors. what is the typical treatment for melanoma or carcinoma if it has not spread to the lymph nodes or beyond the lymph nodes?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Typically melanoma is treated with a combination of surgery and immunotherapy. You will need to consult with physicians that have expertise in these areas (medical and surgical oncologists). It's very good news that there is no local spread to the lymph nodes.
