ropinirole for PD and melanoma risk
Especially the warning about increased
melanoma
risk. I understand that most anti PD meds have at least 2x increased risk of
melanoma
, but I could not find any research that quantified how much ropinirole increases
melanoma
risk. Has anybody looked into this?

private dermatologist for mole check
Hello, I was recently diagnosed and had surgery for
melanoma
in October 2023 in the US. I am currently doing well but am looking for recommendations for a private dermatologist preferably in the Cambridgeshire area that is well versed in
melanoma
and can do mole check every few months for me.

Mechanical treatment: in vitro and in vivo it works!
Molecular jackhammers’ ‘good vibrations’ eradicate cancer cells Light-induced whole-molecule vibration can rupture
melanoma
cells’ membrane They talk about
melanoma
, but the IR light needed to activate such vibration can go as deep as 10 cm inside the body....

Thank you Angela for sharing your story!
Shortly after returning home from hospital I started on targeted therapy to treat my
melanoma
which has been working really well ever since.

‼ The lesion featured in this post may look like eczema or benign skin lesion, but it is in fact a
melanoma
! In rarer cases, all types of
melanoma
can lack pigmentation – these are known as amelanotic
melanoma

Men and Melanoma
Since 1973, death rates from
melanoma
(the most serious type of skin cancer) have risen by 219% in men, compared to an increase of 76% in women and statistics reveal that men are 69% more likely to die from the disease!

What is Melanoma?
Melanoma
begins in melanocytes – the cells that produce the pigment melanin that colours the skin, hair and eyes. Melanocytes also form moles, where
melanoma
often, but not always develops.

Melanoma Surgery while taking Actemra and Prednisone
I just found out I have to have a
melanoma
surgery, and a surgery called “lymph node biopsy” where they remove some lymph nodes to determine if cancer has spread. My question is: should I increase/decrease prednisone or Actemra for this?

possibly nail melanoma and UTI infections.
There is a suspicion of
melanoma
. I have been fast tracked under the cancer pathway and are waiting for appointment. Can this be Rux? I started on 20 mg 3 months ago. Concerned…..

when immune therapy and nanotechnology meet
In mice, the two therapies combined resulted in the total regression of
melanoma
tumors, and prevented them from growing back when the animals were exposed to the same tumor cells again four months later.

Rise in WBC
Hello to all, My husband has CLL, he has also been treated for metastatic
melanoma
which from his latest CT scan is NED. He will receive his last immunotherapy infusion next week. We are beyond grateful.

Hiccups along the way!
The 8 years leading up to that upheaval was filled with operations for my husband's vascular disease and then
Melanoma
, advanced
melanoma
and then metastatic
melanoma
. If someone had told me at the beginning of my PMR journey to cut out carbs I may have not put on nearly so much weight.

Malignant melanoma advice
This is NOT for me, but for a friend who has just had a facial
melanoma
(?2a) removed and needs a wider excision. I've looked for HU
melanoma
communities and surprised to find none with very many members. Our friend needs advice and a 2nd opinion etc.
