Melanoma skin cancer
Advanced melanoma skin cancer means the cancer has spread to another part of the body such as the liver, lungs or bone. Or it has come back after treatment.
There are general symptoms you may get. But other symptoms can depend on where the cancer has spread to. And some people may not get any symptoms at all.
Treatments include targeted cancer drugs, immunotherapy and chemotherapy. They aim to control the cancer, any symptoms you have and improve your quality of life.
Get support to cope with emotional, practical and physical issues when you have advanced melanoma skin cancer.
