Melanoma Treatment

Melanoma Treatment: Act in Time

Melanoma, also known as nevocarcinoma, is a malignant neoplasm that develops from pigment cells that produce melanins.

Often, the formation is localized on the skin, but it can also affect the retina of the eyes and mucous membranes, such as the vagina or oral cavity. Growing melanoma is most dangerous for humans, as it can metastasize to all organs. That is why it is important to start melanoma treatment as early as possible.

Causes of Melanoma

Exposure to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation on the skin. Midday sun is considered particularly dangerous.
Trauma to moles, pigment spots, or nevi.
Presence of a large number of moles, papillomas, especially large ones, on the human body.
Hereditary predisposition to cancer.
Presence of skin diseases that provoke the development of melanomas, such as xeroderma.

Stages of Melanoma and Treatment Methods

There are five stages of melanoma development, and unfortunately, not all of them are treatable.

In the first stage, the neoplasm is on the surface of the skin and can be surgically removed. The affected area is excised, capturing healthy tissues to avoid the occurrence of metastases.
In the second stage, not only surgical intervention is performed, but also a study of lymph nodes for the presence of metastases, which are also removed.
In the third stage, when melanoma has penetrated deep into the skin, the entire affected area along with the lymph nodes is excised. Chemo- and immunotherapy are indicated.
In the fourth stage, it is difficult to cure melanoma, as the neoplasm gives numerous metastases, but it is possible, especially in foreign clinics using innovative technologies.
The fifth stage is recurrent and directly depends on previous melanoma removal procedures.

Innovative Melanoma Treatment Methods Abroad

Foreign medicine has long reached a new level. And along with this, foreign doctors continue to introduce new and new developments into their practice:

TIL. Immune cells are isolated from the patient's blood. Their number is increased in a sterile laboratory and they are trained to attack cancer cells. After a month of cultivation, they are re-introduced into the patient. The technique has already cured over 100 patients.
Gene therapy. One of the newest methods. It involves introducing the drug PLX4032 into the body, which has a destructive effect on mutated cells.
Vaccine therapy is aimed not only at destroying the tumor but also at strengthening immunity. Various biological preparations are used, such as oncovesc, which fight only affected cells.

The successful outcome of melanoma treatment largely depends on early diagnosis of the disease, the size of the neoplasm, and its stage of development. But in foreign clinics, doctors are capable of working miracles, thanks to their professionalism, innovative developments, and modern equipment.
