Metastatic Melanoma
Metastatic melanoma is an advanced stage of melanoma, an aggressive cancer that originates in the cells that give color to the skin, in which the tumor cells have spread to other organs or tissues of the body.
How does it show up? The signs depend on the areas affected; there may be changes in existing moles, the appearance of new skin lesions, and general symptoms depending on the organs involved.
When to see a doctor? It is worth checking any mole that changes in size, color, shape, or borders, or that bleeds, as well as new lesions that do not heal.
Which specialist treats it? The oncologist, together with the dermatologist, studies and follows up on these cases. Watching the skin and showing any suspicious lesion to a professional is the best way to act in time.
