Your Care

Most people diagnosed with melanoma initially feel overwhelmed. What exactly is a melanoma? How advanced is it? Do I need more testing? What’s my prognosis? What are my treatment options? These are just some of the questions that you will want to have answered.

Your physicians in the North Bay Melanoma Program understand that you will initially feel anxious about these questions and more. We are here to help guide you through the process of diagnosis, work-up, testing, treatment, and follow-up. Along the way, we work collaboratively with each other and with you to make sure that your questions and concerns are answered. In melanoma, one size does not fit all, and your care will be individualized. This section focuses on the various treatment options that may be appropriate for you. Your physicians’ goal is that the care you receive maximizes the chance of a healthy outcome.
