Healthcare: Advances in melanoma treatment (Fox Chase Cancer Center)
Melanoma is a rare but extremely dangerous form of skin cancer. About 100,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with it every year. When caught early, melanoma can usually be treated successfully by removing the cancer and a small amount of the surrounding tissue. However, later-stage melanoma is more difficult to treat.
In recent years, new and effective treatments for melanoma have become available with many more studies and treatments on the horizon.
