Among skin tumours, melanoma is the least common. However, it is the most aggressive form of skin cancer and is potentially life-threatening. Its incidence has increased significantly in recent years, making it a major focus of the Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Skin Cancer Unit. This has led to the incorporation of advanced diagnostic techniques and therapeutic strategies. <\/p>\n

Early diagnosis is essential to improving outcomes in melanoma. At the Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Skin Cancer Unit, advanced technologies are used to detect melanoma at early stages, when treatment is more effective and less invasive. <\/p>\n

Importance of early diagnosis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Detection of melanoma at an early stage is associated with cure rates exceeding 90% and reduces the need for aggressive treatment. Early diagnosis minimises the risk of metastasis and significantly improves survival and quality of life. <\/p>\n

State-of-the-art technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Advanced tools such as the Vectra 360<\/a> system, confocal microscopy <\/a>and digital dermoscopy allow precise analysis of skin lesions. These techniques improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce unnecessary biopsies and facilitate long-term monitoring during follow-up. <\/p>\n

Melanoma is an aggressive tumour that requires treatment tailored to its specific characteristics. Our dermatologists specialising in melanoma design individualised treatment plans based on tumour location, extent and depth of invasion, with the aim of maximising therapeutic effectiveness while minimising functional and aesthetic impact. <\/p>\n

Wide local excision<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wide local excision is the standard treatment for most melanomas. It involves removal of the tumour together with a margin of surrounding healthy tissue to ensure complete excision. In selected cases, Mohs surgery may be considered, although it is not routinely indicated. <\/p>\n

Functional and aesthetic outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Melanoma may affect sensitive and highly visible areas such as the face, neck and hands. For this reason, preservation of function and appearance is carefully considered. Detailed surgical planning and collaboration with reconstructive surgery teams support optimal outcomes and satisfactory recovery. <\/p>\n

In advanced or metastatic melanoma, a comprehensive approach is required. The unit works with a multidisciplinary team that may combine surgery, immunotherapy, radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy to define the most appropriate strategy for each patient. <\/p>\n

Integrated approach and combined treatments<\/strong><\/p>\n

Metastatic melanoma requires coordinated management across specialties. Oncologists, surgeons and dermatologists collaborate to design personalised treatment plans, which may include salvage surgery, palliative radiotherapy and immunotherapy to control disease progression and improve quality of life. <\/p>\n

Innovation in complementary therapies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Targeted therapies and immunotherapy have represented a major advance in the management of advanced melanoma, allowing more effective control of tumour growth. These treatments are incorporated according to individual patient characteristics to optimise outcomes. <\/p>\n

The Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Skin Cancer Unit is supported by other specialised units within the group to improve therapeutic outcomes and facilitate recovery after melanoma surgery.<\/p>\n

Hyperbaric medicine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy <\/a>increases tissue oxygenation, reduces inflammation and post-surgical oedema, lowers the risk of infection and promotes tissue regeneration and wound healing. It may be considered after surgery, particularly in high-risk patients, following extensive procedures with grafts or flaps, or in areas with limited vascularisation such as the ears or nose. <\/p>\n

Medical and aesthetic treatments<\/strong><\/p>\n

When appropriate, specialists in the Facial Aesthetics Unit<\/a> contribute to optimising surgical outcomes using neuromodulators, dermal fillers or biostimulators to improve skin quality. Laser treatments may also be used to improve scar appearance. In addition, the Beauty and Wellbeing Unit offers specific post-surgical therapies to promote tissue drainage and accelerate recovery. <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Melanoma requires ongoing monitoring to prevent recurrence and to detect new lesions at early stages. Regular follow-up is combined with personalised prevention strategies to reduce the risk of new skin tumours. <\/p>\n

Digital monitoring and lesion control<\/strong><\/p>\n

Digital dermoscopy and total body mapping are used to assess changes in moles and suspicious lesions over time. This allows comparison of images across visits and identification of subtle changes suggestive of early melanoma. <\/p>\n

Diagnosis of melanoma in complex locations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some melanomas arise in areas that are difficult to examine. In these cases, specialised protocols and techniques such as confocal microscopy and high-resolution imaging are used to facilitate early detection. <\/p>\n

A guide to understanding melanoma<\/span><\/h2>\n

Melanoma is a skin tumour that originates in melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing the pigment that gives colour to the hair, eyes and skin.<\/p>\n

In most cases, melanoma is cutaneous, meaning that it develops on areas of the skin most exposed to ultraviolet radiation, such as the arms, legs, trunk and areas of the scalp without hair. However, it may also arise in other locations where melanin is present, including the eyes (ocular melanoma), the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, beneath the nails (acral lentiginous melanoma), or internal areas of the body such as the mucosa of the nose or throat, the digestive tract, the vagina or the urinary tract (mucosal melanoma). <\/p>\n

Interestingly, melanoma is more commonly diagnosed on the legs and arms in women, whereas in men it more frequently affects the trunk, head and neck.<\/p>\n

Risk factors for melanoma<\/h3>\n

As with other common skin tumours, excessive and prolonged exposure to solar radiation is the most important risk factor for developing melanoma. <\/p>\n

This type of skin cancer is more common in men over the age of 50, particularly those who experienced frequent sunburn during childhood and adolescence. As dermatologists often emphasise, the skin has memory: cellular damage accumulates over many years before manifesting as a malignant skin lesion. For this reason, individuals with fair skin, light eyes and blonde or red hair are at greater risk if adequate photoprotection is not maintained throughout the year. <\/p>\n

Excessive use of UVA lamps and artificial tanning beds, occupations involving prolonged outdoor exposure, a family history of melanoma or other skin cancers, a previous diagnosis of skin cancer, and the presence of multiple moles\u2014especially large or atypical moles with irregular shape or located in areas usually covered by clothing or hair (such as the scalp, buttocks or soles of the feet)\u2014are additional risk factors. The presence of multiple actinic lesions also increases melanoma risk. <\/p>\n

Genetic conditions such as xeroderma pigmentosum and albinism, which affect melanin production and the body\u2019s ability to repair ultraviolet-induced cellular damage, are strongly associated with the development of skin tumours, including melanoma. In addition, immune system disorders and long-term immunosuppressive treatments increase the risk of this type of skin cancer. <\/p>\n

It is also important to note that approximately 30% of melanomas arise from previously benign acquired naevi. As a result, having a high number of moles is considered a risk factor and highlights the importance of regular mole monitoring to detect malignant changes at an early stage. <\/p>\n

Prognosis and symptoms of melanoma<\/h3>\n

As noted previously, melanoma is less common than basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, accounting for only around 1\u20132% of all skin tumours. However, its incidence has increased by approximately 50% in recent years, with around 4,000 new cases diagnosed annually in Spain alone. <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Prognosis of melanoma” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Melanoma\u2019s aggressive nature and its high capacity to infiltrate deeper<\/a> layers of the skin and spread to other tissues make it responsible for the highest mortality rate among skin cancers.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, melanoma has an excellent prognosis when detected at an early stage, with cure rates exceeding 90% in cases diagnosed in the initial phases of the disease. This once again underlines the importance of regular skin examinations and early diagnosis, a key pillar of the Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Skin Cancer Unit. <\/p>\n

The most characteristic sign of melanoma is a mole that has changed rapidly in size, texture or colour without an obvious cause. Patients often report that a previously well-defined mole has lost its clear borders and become blurred or diffuse, appearing more like a stain. <\/p>\n

The appearance of a completely new mole or a pigmented lesion in an area where none previously existed may also indicate melanoma. <\/p>\n

Although many melanomas are dark brown or black due to uncontrolled melanocyte activity, some do not produce excess melanin. In these cases, the lesion may appear pink, light brown or even white.<\/p>\n
