Can nail melanoma be cured?

Melanoma scares many people. This disease is very harmful, complicated to treat, and takes a long time to treat. Depending on the location of the melanoma, there are also some differences in treatment. Therefore, after suffering from this disease, don’t be anxious. Understand your own situation first so that you will not choose the wrong treatment method. So can nail melanoma be cured? This depends on the patient's condition. The following is a detailed introduction to nail melanoma.

To detect subungual melanoma in time, we must first understand the early symptoms of nail melanoma: sudden enlargement of the subungual black line or dark brown lesions, especially in people over 45 years old; patients with subungual injuries that do not heal after long-term treatment; patients with persistent subungual damage symptoms after finger (toe) trauma; patients with rapid disease progression and severe local ulceration. When patients find any of the above conditions, subungual tissue should be removed in time for pathological examination, so that a clear diagnosis can be made early.

What are the early symptoms of nail melanoma? What you really need to worry about with nail melanoma is the appearance of a black stripe on only one nail. This may be a benign melanoma, subungual bleeding or malignant melanoma, or the result of repeated local trauma, friction irritation or even onychomycosis. It can be seen from this that patients with nail melanoma should always pay attention to their physical health. When they find any of the above phenomena, they must go to a regular dermatology hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid causing chronic renal failure, which in turn threatens the life and health of patients.

Once subungual melanoma is diagnosed, finger (toe) amputation should be performed promptly. For patients with a long course of disease or regional lymphadenopathy, regional lymph node clearance should be performed in a timely manner. Combining biological immunotherapy after surgery can improve the efficacy and prevent postoperative recurrence and metastasis. During surgery for subungual melanoma, incomplete excision or chemical burns must be avoided as they may promote its spread or metastasis.
