If skin cancer is found early is it very easy to cure?!


Question: My mother had a freckle on her leg change colors/shapes (I'm not sure) but she got into the dermatologist and I believe she found it very early... does anyone know the odds of skin cancer survival if the malignant area is found early?

The survival rate, for early detection of skin cancer , is very good,,,, if found early enough, the lesion can be removed very easily, without complications, or deep incisions,. but if it has progresses to melanoma, that is a different story. So early detection is a life saver. Hope this helps/

they are very good. i have a few moles that my doctor watches and said that i would have years of advandced warnings before anything got serious.

Yea, if you catch it before you even have early symptoms it is almost ridiculously easy to treat.

Its really good to get tested for stuff like that regularly.

Hell, i'm 21 and i already get prostate exams every year. Check up or Check out.
