Presentation
Moreover, these very few examples present a totally different appearance pattern compared to the one we examined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The authors present the case of a patient with a pigmented tumoural lesion on the left shoulder clinically thought to represent nodular malignant melanoma, but whose histopathology revealed a pigmented form of eccrine poroma. [revista.spdv.com.pt]
RGP-confined microinvasive, which shows some malignant cells present in superficial papillary dermis. [amhsjournal.org]
When the two mutations were present together, one presented with a high frequency and the other with a low frequency (15). [clinicaldermatology.eu]
The presentation in men is in the trunk and women, it is in the lower extremities [3]. [asclepiusopen.com]

He began his condition 5 years ago with a small nevus, which has been adding occasional bleeding and pain for 3 years, with progressive growth to the present date. He mentions faster growth after his last pregnancy. [asclepiusopen.com]
He denied any significant pain or neurological symptoms. The patient reported additional symptoms of fatigue and anorexia but denied any significant weight loss. [austinpublishinggroup.com]
For example, if you have pain, there are effective treatments for this. General practitioners, specialists and palliative care teams in hospitals all play important roles in helping people with cancer. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
Patient gave history of a rapid increase in the size of the lesions, loss of appetite, and significant loss of weight since 2 months and a dull aching chest pain since 1 month. [amhsjournal.org]
The patient complained of intermittent shooting pain radiating from the area. He complained also of fatigue, night sweats, fever, and an unexpected 30 lb weight loss during the preceding 8 months. [escholarship.org]

Treatment
Available treatments for select sites include adoptive T cell therapies and dendritic cell vaccines. [doi.org]
Most often, no other treatment is needed. [cancer.org]
Complementary and alternative treatments It's common for people with cancer to seek out complementary or alternative treatments. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
A predictive factor influences how a cancer will respond to a certain treatment. Prognostic and predictive factors are often discussed together. They both play a part in deciding on a treatment plan and a prognosis. [cancer.ca]

Prognosis
If you have melanoma skin cancer, you may have questions about your prognosis. A prognosis is the doctor’s best estimate of how cancer will affect someone and how it will respond to treatment. Prognosis and survival depend on many factors. [cancer.ca]
Nodular malignant melanoma accounts for 20% of melanocytic malignant tumors and is associated with a relatively poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Polypoid melanoma has a rapid progression and a poor prognosis.3 Polypoid melanoma involving the skin primarily affects the back and has a 5-year survival rate of 32% to 42%.4 Poor prognosis has been attributed to the high risk for vascular embolization [mdedge.com]
This measurement is an important factor in prognosis; for example, a thicker melanoma has a poorer prognosis. Breslow thickness is more important than the tumor's Clark's Level (more below) in determining prognosis. [oncolink.org]

Preventing melanoma Melanoma is not always preventable, but you can reduce your chances of developing it by avoiding getting sunburned (even going pink in the sun). [nhs.uk]
Secondary prevention with early detection of melanoma saves lives. Educating the public and health professionals to recognise melanoma early is crucial. [patient.info]
Increased use of sun protection will help prevent skin cancer and melanoma at any age. All skin types can be damaged by exposure to UV radiation. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
This is done to prevent the melanoma from returning. Immunotherapy: These medicines boost your immune system. That helps your body spot and destroy cancer cells. It’s often used for advanced melanomas. [webmd.com]
