If you have had melanoma…
Posted in Dermatology on October 26, 2011
If you have had melanoma, be vigilant for another melanoma but also for thyroid cancer and leukemia/lymphoma. Current epidemiology shows that men and women with melanoma are at increased risk for subsequent primary cancers such as subsequent invasive melanoma, thyroid cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. So please check your neck for lumps.
