CLAR Question : How does the doctor do a biopsy if melanoma is on the head ?
My father had melanoma on the head … How the hell does the doctor get a biopsy away from him on the head? Best answer:

Answer by Panda
This will depend on where the head of the melanoma is located and the best approach to biopsy. . it may be that they will try’m a surgical biopsy. Am biopsy involves the complete removal of the lesion with a clear margin. . . Once the lesion is removed, the pathologist will examine the tumor under a microscope to determine if it is malignant, how it is and see if all cancer cells are in the margins. Or the doctor may choose for any reason to do a needle aspiration biopsy and simply remove a sample of cells suspected. . Of course there is a risk of missing the cancer cells completely with this type of levy.

How often does a mole look like melanoma, but it turns out to be nothing?

Posted by admin on May 22nd, 2011

Question Miss E : How often does a mole look like melanoma, but it turns out to be nothing ?
I recently had a biopsy done and a mole in particular perfectly matched “ABCD” signs of melanoma. Are there any statistics on where it physically fit, but the results were negative for cancer? For more details in case my question was not clear: I would like statistics on how often a mole is not cancerous after a dermatologist said it is the ABCD of melanoma. I can not find something on the topic of how often a biopsy comes back positive or negative. Thank you! Best answer:

Answer by norton g
Miss E – There are no exact figures to answer your question. The ABCD of melanoma are good guides available when consulting a doctor (preferably a dermatologist), but there are other warning signs of melanoma to consider such as: • The appearance of a bump or a new nodule • Color spreading in the surrounding skin • redness or swelling beyond the mole douleurtendresse • ​​• • • Bleeding • Itching • seepage écailleuseMieux appearance is sure and safe than sorry too late.

Q & A: What is the name of the method to prevent melanoma?

Posted by admin on May 17th, 2011

Question Noi T : What is the name of the method to prevent melanoma
Hello, I heard that one way to prevent melanoma is a systematic inspection of the skin by a doctor. I know that the doctor just did a visual check, but I heard there is a more powerful tool. It is based on making pictures of birthmarks and comparison of the following images (made with an interval of time). I would like to know the name of the method. Best answer:

Answer by Go Gators
The only thing I can think of would be thermal imaging. There is a treatment called thermal neutron Capture Therapy. I hope this helps you. Good luck!

Posted by admin on May 17th, 2011

Question by Meggy : What is cancer of the throat and the tape look like melanoma tape ?
Im getting a tattoo in honor of my father who had a throat cancer and my mother had a melanoma. A ribbon will be on one shoulder and the other band on the other shoulder. The ribbons will be torn in the middle with a sparrow flying through the middle. They both survived and it is for them! So if someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated! Best answer:

Answer by Haley P isn’t
throat cancer very precise because there are many cancers that can affect the “throat” area. Are you talking about cancer of the esophagus? Esophageal cancer has a periwinkle ribbon and the melanoma has a ribbon orange.Hope this helps!
