If you find any changes in moles in your daily life, you should be alert. Don’t take the usual commonplace moles seriously, as almost 60% of malignant melanoma is formed by the malignant transformation of moles. Surgical resection is usually used for early stage patients, but it can only remove certain tumors under the naked eye, but it can’t do anything for the tiny lesions that are not visible to the naked eye, and the most fundamental difficulty after surgery is that the recurrence and metastasis of cancer cannot be controlled. How long can I live after melanoma surgery? The 5-year survival rate of patients with malignant melanoma can reach 60 to 80 percent after surgery. However, if the tumor is not detected and treated in time, the 5-year survival rate is less than 5% even after surgery, and it is very easy to metastasis and recurrence. Therefore, postoperative treatment combined with traditional Chinese medicine can clear residual lesions to prolong the survival of melanoma patients. At present, many clinical patients are taking ginsenoside Rh2 (nowadays lucky capsule) to relieve the toxic side effects of treatment, anti-inflammatory and pain relief at the same time. Therefore, carrying out timely and appropriate treatment is the key to improve the survival rate of patients with malignant melanoma. It is important to note that when progressively enlarging moles are found on the body, they should never be cauterized without authorization, let alone removed casually. When the tumor is removed after diagnosis by a regular hospital, pathological examination must be done to avoid misdiagnosis. For some old patients, their bodies are so weak that surgical treatment and radiotherapy cannot be carried out, but this does not mean that they cannot be treated. Chinese medicine treatment can improve the immunity of patients, improve the immunity of people through the regulation of overall functions, improve the quality of life, reduce the pain of patients and prolong their life. Those who have the above changes in local skin should seek medical attention quickly, and biopsy can be performed through puncture or after removal of tumor for early diagnosis. The nevus on the soles of the feet, heels, waistline, armpits and other friction-prone areas should be removed prophylactically as early as possible. For patients suspected to be malignant melanoma, the lesion should be excised together with the normal skin and subcutaneous fat within 0.5-1 cm of the lesion, and pathological examination should be performed at the same time. If the pathological examination confirms that the lesion is indeed a malignant melanoma, the tumor with a thickness of less than or equal to 1 mm should be surgically removed (including the removal of normal skin and subcutaneous fat within the outer 1 cm of the tumor); for the lesion with a thickness of more than 1 cm, the excision should be extended to the outer 3-5 cm of the tumor; and for malignant melanoma of the extremity, finger (toe) amputation is usually performed. In addition, surgical excision, or radiotherapy, of herbal medicine can also be considered for isolated metastatic lesions.
