Among others: • overexposure to UVA and UVB rays; • presence of many moles; • inefficient immune system (due to a transplant or chemotherapy) which is therefore unable to intercept and destroy abnormal cells; • family members affected by melanoma. The video provides a more complete overview of all the causes and risk factors. HOW MELANOMA IS TREATED The treatment strategy for dealing with melanoma varies depending on the type and stage. In general, the prognosis is good when: • the lesion is less than 1 millimeter; • the sentinel lymph nodes and (even more importantly) other organs are not involved. In this case, to solve the problem, surgical removal of the melanoma and a series of regular check-ups to be agreed with the dermatologist are sufficient. In cases where the melanoma is in an advanced stage, it will be necessary to resort to isolated chemotherapy, however only to the affected regions. This is possible thanks to specific techniques: • radiotherapy; • targeted therapy; • immunotherapy. THE IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTION The essential form of prevention is represented by correct exposure of the skin to UV rays. To avoid the risk of overexposure that can put our health at risk (not only our skin), it is sufficient to follow a few simple rules: • avoid exposure to the sun during the hottest hours of the day, when the sun's rays are strongest; • use a sunscreen suitable for your skin; • apply the protection before exposing yourself to the sun and after swimming (or even if you sweat).
