Melanoma Treatment in Gilbert
The most common type of cancer in the country is skin cancer, and melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. In general, melanoma arises from mutations of skin cell DNA in the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). The spread of these mutations to adjacent cells, particularly when uncontrolled and rapid, raises the risk of a malignancy. Melanoma develops when mutations occur in melanocytes, which are skin cells located in the bottom layer of the epidermis. Melanomas frequently form in areas that don’t get much sun exposure, and often start out as a mole, a large brown spot, or an irregular lesion. If you’ve been diagnosed with melanoma, the following treatment options are very effective: topical medications, Mohs micrographic surgery, and surgical excision procedure. We understand how a diagnosis of melanoma can impact your life.
