The Diagnosis Of Melanoma Skin Cancer. The doctor will check the condition of your skin and decide whether you need further examination by a specialist. This is the beginning of the process before the diagnose melanoma.

| The Diagnosis Of Melanoma Skin Cancer |
Biopsy
A biopsy is usually done by means of a local anesthetic. The area around the Mole will be made numb (numbing) and you will not feel pain. If the doctor suspects a mole who checked as melanoma, you will be referred to see a specialist skin (Dermatology) or plastic surgery specialist for further examination.
Specialist leather or plastic surgeon will probably do a biopsy. A small operation to remove the moles for melanoma chances are further examined with a microscope. This process is done to find out if a Mole is cancerous or not.
The operation is more needs to be done if indeed the moles are cancerous. In most cases, surgery is performed to remove the affected skin cancer and treated by a plastic surgeon.
Advanced test
A further tests need to be done to you if there is a concern that existing cancer already spread to other organs, such as the bone or into Your circulatory system. Other tests that may be done include:
- A blood test
- X-ray imaging
- An Mri Scan
- Ct Scan
Biopsy Of Sentinel Lymph Nodes
The pattern of the early spread of melanoma generally spreads through the flow in theskin called the lymphatic system, toward a group of nearby lymph nodes. Medicallylymph nodes also known as ' lymph nodes '. They can be found anywhere in the body.The glands that are part of the immune system helps destroy bacteria and unwantedparticles in the body.
Collection of melanoma in a very small amount is able to spread through the lymphatic system vessels to the lymph nodes. For example the skin cancer melanomaon the arms often spread to the lymph nodes in the armpit or the skin cancermelanoma on the legs is often spread to the lymph nodes in the groin.
Process specialist plastic surgeon named sentinel lymph nodes biopsy is a test to determine if the melanoma in a very small amount has already spread to the lymph nodes. Small deployments typically not visible on x-rays but the test results easierbiopsy process known as the sentinel lymph nodes.
The combined blue ink and a weak radioactive elements will be added to plastic surgeon around the wound before surgical removal of a portion of the skin. Just as cellmelanoma, ink blue and radioactive elements will flow follow the lymphatic channelsin the skin. Logically, the combined elements of it will go to the first lymph nodes, just like the other lymph nodes by the cancer, called the sentinel lymph nodes.
With blue ink and radioactive elements that have been injected, the sentinel node can be found and removed, while the node that does not contract the usually abandoned.The node that will be submitted at a specialist of pathology to inspect, identify, orseparating a very small melanoma cells. The entire process can take several weeks.
For patients with lymph nodes who have contracted the melanoma, there is the possibility of melanoma has spread to other places. If the sentinel lymph nodes are clean from melanoma, certain other lymph nodes as well as clean, but it is not impossible melanoma can spread.
If melanoma is in the sentinel lymph nodes, there is a 20% risk of at least one morelymph nodes in the same cluster are melanoma. In this condition, to remove all thelymph nodes left in the infected group would normally be recommended. Largeroperations are usually referred to as a thorough dissection of lymph nodes or a thorough limfadenektomi.
