A member asked:
Would it be possible for melanoma to spread to the brain and the person survives 4-5 years without knowing it? once the cancer spreads that means its stage 4 and dont have much time correct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If melanoma becomes generalized, it is very common to metastasize to the brain. For a time the lesion(s) may be quiescent, but there is a nasty tendency for this cancer to present as a massive brain hemorrhage on occasion.
