Cancer

Melanoma: Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is sometimes used to treat advanced melanomas. But it isn't used as often as it was in the past.

Melanoma: Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy is the use of medicines that target the parts of cancer cells that make them unlike normal cells. Targeted medicines for melanoma work on genes and proteins in melanoma cells.
