A member asked:
Is melanoma cancer in the lung one that is hard to get rid of?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is: Melanoma starts in the skin or mucosa. If it spreads to the lung it is very serious. Some times surgery can be done to remove the melanoma from the lung. Some melanomas are susceptible to a new chemotherapy. It is best to treat melanoma while it is confined to the skin. Early treatment is curable.
