Question:
Has anyone heard of a melanoma tumor in the breast? I did a web search
and only found one article. It was by an outfit pushing "alternative medicine"
which leads me to immediately dismiss their claims.
It is very unlikely that we will allow surgery. What non surgical
treatments are available, assuming this is not melanoma?
Answer:
Hi..I'm an RN who works for a group of breast surgeons. I am amazed and
inspired by the knowledge and empathy within the internet. In regards to
melanoma in the breast...we DID havethis occurr in one of our patients...she
developed metastatic melanoma of the breast...prev. diax and tx for melanoma
of thw baby toe...this was not and does not become breast cancer so Tx is
specific for melanoma guidelines. God bless you and your mom.........
