Primary Treatment
The treatment for melanoma depends on several factors, including the size, depth, and location of the tumour, as well as whether it has spread to other parts of the body. Our goal is to remove the melanoma completely while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, especially in the sensitive areas of the face and mouth.
Surgical Excision
The main treatment for melanoma is surgery to remove the tumour and some surrounding healthy tissue. If the melanoma is on the face or neck, reconstructive surgery may be needed to restore appearance and function.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
If there’s concern the melanoma has spread, a sentinel lymph node biopsy may be performed to check for cancer in nearby lymph nodes.
Advanced Treatments
For more advanced cases, treatments like immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiotherapy may be recommended to treat melanoma that has spread beyond the skin.
Reconstructive Surgery
After tumour removal, reconstructive surgery helps restore the appearance and function of facial or oral areas, ensuring the best possible cosmetic outcome.
Early Intervention Is Key
If you have concerns about new, or changing moles, or lesions, or any unwanted growths, please arrange to see a specialist.
After treatment, regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor your recovery and detect any potential recurrence of melanoma. Our clinic offers ongoing care, including regular skin checks, to ensure that any new changes are identified and treated early.
Whether you come to our London clinic for diagnosis, melanoma treatment, or ongoing care, we guarantee consultant led, individual support.
