Geez, it look so straight forward determining if it’s melanoma. I always worry the pathologist got my diagnosis wrong
thank you, Very well presented .
laymans key to detecting a melanoma is
look for ANY change in a mole .
unfortunaely the nodular melanoma
presented at the begining often begins vertical dermal invasion early.
micro mets are probably present
Thank you very much! Greetings from Brazil.
very well done, very good explained. i knew all this because four years ago i’ve lost my husband because of a melanoma.
Videos like this one and other medical videos are now available exclusively for physicians from all the world on symposier .(com) , it is closed for physicians only. They just lunch the site and it’s open to share videos and other files; post questions to other physicians, networking and to publish also info of future events”
i am studying the biology cancer in my second year at university and this has really helped. thanks!
yeah, a multipolar mitosis is generally regarded as a cancer cell, i can not think of ever seeing a MPM in a cell that wasn’t
yuck, those are some mean and nasty looking cells in there. is it just me, or do some of these have multi-polar mitoses?
Thank you for these videos. You have an excellent ability to teach, & I am able to really follow you, in a very interested way. I am a survivor of a malignant cystosarcoma phyllodes tumor (doubtful that 1 of those will be on here
~ It accounts for less than 1/10th of 1% of all types of breast cancers, and is a vascular cancer & unresponsive to most treatments, other than surgery. Anyway, I have a strong interest in medicine & find all of this very fascinating… Thank you for the videos
of course, if the new “scar tissue” really turns out to be melanoma on microscopic examination, prognosis could be guarded long term
many melanomas can respond drastically well to immunotherapy

My friend had a mole removed 14 years ago half way down her arm, she was an avid sunbather. She had 29 lymph nodes removed from her armpit 3 months ago (block dissection). The consultant was happy with the operation so no radio/chemo was advised he felt it was encapsulated and had not spread. She has recently been diagnosed as having scar tissue which the consultant now feels maybe malignant as it appears to be another enlarged lymph node. It will be removed next week. What is her prognosis?
Thank you for doing this, I’ve had 3 melanoma’s and a lump now has formed near an old site that I had surgery on and I’m trying to gather information before I see the Oncologist next week. I hope the lump is just a fatty benign tumor. All of mine were Clarks I or II, so I was very fortunate.
