      Can someone explain to me why nodular is so much more aggressive then others. I mean I know its the cancer that grows downward but once its in your lymph nodes are the cells more aggressive then the other types of melanoma cells.

          It's considered more aggressive because it grows quickly and isn't often caught in the early stages.  Once it metastasizes, it isn't treated any differently than other cutaneous melanoma as far as treatment.

                      I was diagnosed with nodular melanoma five and half years ago. The problem is to discover it on time. Afterwards it is not more agressivee than superficial melanoma.
