Understand this condition

Melanoma arises from melanocytes and can occur in skin, including soles and under nails, or sites such as mucosa and the eye.

How it is assessed

Lesion examination and biopsy establish diagnosis. Depth, pathological features, nodes, and spread assessment inform staging.

Care pathways

Surgery has a role in local disease. Selected situations may involve immunotherapy or targeted treatment according to stage and molecular features.

Important distinctions & limits

Not every melanoma is dark and not every mole is melanoma. Changing lesions need direct assessment rather than a photographic diagnosis.

Watch first. Understand more easily.

One diagnosis, several care specialties

Read the video transcript
  1. Understand the disease type first. An organ name is not enough. Pathology, stage, and general condition give context.
  2. Each specialty has a role. Medical, radiation, and surgical oncology may work together according to the case.
  3. An MDT brings perspectives together. A multidisciplinary team discusses findings and options. Team composition depends on the case.
  4. Bring clear questions. BKC supports coordination. Diagnosis and medical decisions remain with licensed clinicians.
