My report mentions a stage1A melanoma 0,3mm after the puch biopsy (all the rest is good: no ulceration, no regression, mitotic rate=0, noxyz, etc…. But it mentions also atypical melanocytes at the margins…. I thus go for a wide excision…But my questions are:
(1) Are atypical myelanocytes at the margins = melanoma…Are these already tumor or only susceptible to become melanoma tumor (??)… My doctor's answer is not clear…..
(2) I bleeded a lot after puch biopsy…if atypical myelanocytes at the margins were indeed already cancer, could they have spread in the blood (??)
YVAN, an anxious patient…
