Metastatic melanoma is a type of skin cancer that typically originates in the skin and can spread to other organs such as the lymph nodes and lungs. It is estimated that between 2% to 4% of the population is affected by metastatic melanoma. Metastatic melanoma is usually caused by the exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or artificial sources, such as tanning beds. As a result, people who spend a lot of time outdoors or who use tanning beds are at a higher risk of developing this type of cancer. Symptoms of metastatic melanoma vary depending on the stage the cancer is in and the organs it has spread to. Common symptoms include changes in the size, shape or color of the existing melanoma lesions, or the development of new moles. Metastatic melanoma can also cause pain and swelling in areas such as the lymph nodes or other organs. Diagnosis of metastatic melanoma usually involves a physical exam and imaging tests, such as x-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans, to look for evidence of spread. A biopsy can also be used to confirm the presence of melanoma. Treatment for metastatic melanoma typically involves a combination of surgical removal of the primary tumor, chemotherapy, and/or targeted or immunotherapy. The goal of treatment is to prevent the cancer from spreading and to find a way to keep it from recurring. As with other types of cancer, early detection is key in treating metastatic melanoma. If you notice any changes in the appearance of moles or other skin lesions, see a physician right away. Regular skin check-ups and examination by a dermatologist is an important step in the prevention and early detection of melanoma and other types of skin cancer.
