Nodular Melanoma what are the Threats and how to Treat this Disease?

Leroy Olaechea Varona

Nodular Melanoma (NM) is the most aggressive form of melanoma. It tends to grow more rapidly in thickness(vertically penetrate the skin) than in diameter compared to other melanoma subtypes. Instead of arising from a pre-existing mole, it may appear in a spot where a lesion did not previously exist. Since NM tends to grow in depth morequickly than it does in width, and can occur in a place that did not have a previous lesion, the prognosis is oftenworse because it takes longer for a person to be aware of the changes.
