        Stages

        What Are the Stages of Skin Cancer?

        Staging is the term oncologists use to define where melanoma is located and how much it has spread. Once the stage of skin cancer is determined, your physician can recommend a particular course of treatment. Learn more about cancer staging.

        For more information about the stages of skin cancer, please visit our Health Library.
