Melanoma that has metastasized or spread beyond draining lymph nodes is considered stage IV melanoma. The most common sites of spread beyond the skin include the lung, liver and brain.
Our recommended treatment for patients with metastatic melanoma depends on several factors, including:
Treatment options include molecularly targeted therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgical resection for isolated metastases. Patients can always consider participating in a clinical trial as a treatment option as well.
Some patients seeking treatment for melanoma may be eligible for current clinical trials. Learn more about our clinical trials.
Our melanoma team works with you to create a plan that may include one or a combination of treatments.
