Superficial Spreading Melanoma Case Study Presentation A 29 year old female presented with an invasive Superficial Spreading Melanoma (Breslow 1.2mm) on the hip. [skincancer.net.au]
There were no significant differences when pediatric and adult SSM were compared for stage at presentation, ratio of radial to vertical growth phase, average Breslow depth and mitotic count, or frequency of FISH positivity. [scholars.northwestern.edu]
The present study was conducted with the aim of defining the ROG of these melanoma subsets. [spandidos-publications.com]
According to the author, the first criterion may not be present in the pigmented basal cell carcinoma (absence of pigmented reticulum), but one of the six criteria proposed must be present. [medwave.cl]

- Pain
Melanoma treatment can cause side effects, including pain, nausea, and fatigue. Call your provider if you notice a new growth or any other changes in your skin. [medlineplus.gov]

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]
Self-detected clinical warning signs (eg, elevation and onset of pain) were markers of thicker SSM and NM. [jamanetwork.com]

Complementary and alternative treatments It's common for people with cancer to seek out complementary or alternative treatments. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
Invasion of the dermis by atypical, pleomorphic melanocytes Absence of the 'maturation' typical of naevus cells Mitoses Treatment[edit] Treatment is by excisional biopsy, wide local excision and possibly sentinel node biopsy. [en.wikipedia.org]
Your doctor or cancer specialist or nurse will explain the different treatments and their side effects. They will also talk to you about things to consider when making treatment decisions. Surgery is the main treatment for melanoma. [macmillan.org.uk]
Prognosis
The Breslow Stage is used as a prognosis factor as it ranks how deeply the tumor cells have invaded. Breslow's depth was divided into 5 stages. [skincancer.net.au]
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]
This result may have relevance with regard to the consequences of diagnostic delay and prognosis. [spandidos-publications.com]

Using adequate protection against sun exposure can help a person prevent melanoma altogether. This article covers the symptoms of melanoma, how a doctor would diagnose it, and ways to treat it. We also explain how best to prevent melanoma. [medicalnewstoday.com]
How to prevent melanoma? Check your skin Performing monthly skin checks is critical to detecting melanoma early when it’s most treatable. Download SkinVision now to check suspicious moles and track changes over time. [skinvision.com]
Even though melanoma can develop in some moles, doctors feel that there is no advantage to remove moles to prevent melanoma. [medlineplus.gov]
Preventing melanoma Melanoma isn't always preventable, but you can reduce your chances of developing it by avoiding getting sunburned (even going pink in the sun). [www2.hse.ie]
