Stages of melanoma

Melanomas are grouped into the following stages: Stage 0 (Melanoma in situ): The melanoma is only in the top layer of skin (the epidermis). Stage I: Low-risk primary melanoma with no evidence of spread. This stage is generally curable with surgery. Stage II: Features are present that indicate higher risk of recurrence, but there is no evidence of spread. Stage III: The melanoma has spread to nearby lymph nodes or nearby skin. Stage IV: The melanoma has spread to more distant lymph nodes or skin or has spread to internal organs.
