What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Metastatic Melanoma?
The journey toward complete remission starts with knowing essential information about your disease.
Melanoma is usually, though not always, an aggressive form of skin cancer. When melanoma spreads (metastasizes) to other areas in the body, it is called metastatic or advanced. This is also known as stage IV melanoma.
Melanoma often spreads to the following:
- Tissue under the skin
- Lungs
- Abdomen
- Liver
- Bones
- Lymph nodes
Metastatic Melanoma Symptoms in Men and Women
Signs of metastatic melanoma may include:
- Hardened lumps under the skin
- Swollen or painful lymph nodes
- Difficulty breathing
- Persistent coughing
- Inflammation of the liver
- Bone pain
- Weakened bones, leading to fractures
- Headaches or seizures
- Weakness or numbness in the arms or legs
- Reduced appetite
- Weight loss
- Increased tiredness or fatigue
Cause of Metastatic Melanoma
Mutation in melanin-producing skin cells is responsible for melanoma occurrence, which then spreads to other parts of the body (metastatic melanoma). Medical researchers presume that excessive exposure to ultraviolet light, either from the sun or tanning beds, is the primary cause.
Several risk factors can also contribute to developing melanoma:
- A family history of melanoma skin cancers
- Frequent exposure to ultraviolet light
- Having naturally fair or light skin
- Having multiple moles, especially irregular moles
Risk factors for metastatic melanoma include having:
- Primary melanomas (visible skin growths)
- Melanomas that have not been removed
- A suppressed immune system
If you have risk factors, discuss prevention with a licensed medical professional.
Tests for Metastatic Melanoma in Men
Because early detection is key to improving your metastatic melanoma prognosis, a doctor may order these tests and procedures to make an accurate metastatic melanoma diagnosis:
- Medical history and physical exam
- Sample tissue removal surgery (biopsy), such as:
- Punch biopsy
- Excisional biopsy
- Shave biopsy
- Chest X-rays
- Computerized tomography (CT) scan
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
