Dr. Ramon Jimenez, Chief of Melanoma and Soft Tissue Sarcoma Surgery with Miami Cancer Institute, says surgery is the most common treatment, but if you have a stage 4 melanoma, it might not be part of your treatment.

He explains there is a wide excision surgery, which is the removal of the primary site of disease. “Depending on how deep the melanoma invades into the skin, you decide how big of a incision you need to make."
