Metastatic Melanoma
📋Overview
Metastatic Melanoma develops when cancer cells originating in the melanocytes—the pigment-producing cells of the skin—travel through the blood or lymphatic system to other areas of the body. This progression indicates that the disease is no longer localized to the initial site of the tumor.
In this advanced stage, secondary tumors may form in various locations, including the lungs, liver, brain, or bones. Medical professionals classify this as a systemic condition, reflecting the spread of the malignancy beyond its point of origin.
