It is the most common type of melanoma . The site is recognized when it becomes a bump. It is usually black, but could be blue, gray, white, brown, tan, red or even skin tone. It is located in the basal layer of the epidermis. The layer is at the bottom of the epidermis and the melanocytes produce melanin which creates pigment. The more melanin the darker your skin. ]]> 2017-12-12 20:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonl091/iwstr1konuql/wish/215600045 whitet815 https://padlet.com/dawsonl091/iwstr1konuql/wish/215602756

Stage 0- typically results in surgery, sent off to a lab and if cancer is found the surgery will be done again. 
Stage l- surgery again, if cancer is still found they recommend a lymph node biopsy it will lower the chance of melanoma to reappear.
Stage ll-  deeper surgery to remove most of the skin around the site. Depending on how thick the site is the worse the surgery could be
Stage lll- At this stage the begin radiation therapy if chosen by the patient if not then surgery
Stage lV- Now you are getting into chemotherapy and immunetherapy which is put into your body to fight the infection inside the body to treat the cancer inside but surgery also will happen to get rid of the cancer.

Average age is 49. You chance of survival rate is a 95% chance of surviving. The other 5% are cases that were caught to late in the process. 7 out of 11 cases of Nodular Melanoma is correctly diagnosed. Men usually have a higher chance of dying than women. The most common races to get nodular melanoma is more towards blacks and darker Asians. They have a higher chance of getting Nodular Melanoma because they have more melanin then the lighter skin races. ]]> 2017-12-12 20:31:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonl091/iwstr1konuql/wish/215608772
