Stage I melanoma is defined as a melanoma that is up to 2 mm thick. A Stage I melanoma may or may not have ulceration. There is no evidence the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or distant sites (metastasis). There are two subclasses of Stage I melanoma: 1A, 1B.

Risk: Patients with Stage I melanoma are considered low risk for local recurrence or for regional and distant metastases. Keep in mind that the statistics shown for survival are averages; everyone’s cancer and survival rate is based on many factors and determined on an individual basis.

Stage II melanoma is defined by tumor thickness and ulceration. There is no evidence the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes or to distant sites (metastasis).

Risk: With treatment, Stage II melanoma is considered intermediate to high risk for local recurrence or distant metastasis. Keep in mind that the statistics shown for survival are only averages; everyone’s cancer and survival rates is based on many factors and determined on an individual basis.
