Treatment
The doctor can describe treatment choices and discuss the
results expected with each treatment option.
The doctor and patient can work together to develop a treatment plan
that fits the patient’s needs. Treatment
for melanoma depends on the extent of the disease, the patient’s age and
general health, and other factors.
People with melanoma are often
treated by a team of specialists. The
team may include a dermatologist,
surgeon,
medical oncologist,
radiation oncologist, and
plastic surgeon.
