Question

What is the survival rate of a localized malignant melanoma that is detected and removed in the early stages of the cancer?

1) Above 95 %
2) 75 %
3) 60 %
4) 40 %
5) less than 20 %

Answer 1

The survival rate of a localized malignant melanoma that is detected and removed in the early stages of the cancer is above 95%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The survival rate of a localized malignant melanoma that is detected and removed in the early stages of the cancer is above 95%.

Melanoma is the most deadly type of skin cancer, but if it is detected early and while it is still localized in the skin, most patients survive for at least five years.

Therefore, option 1) Above 95% is the correct answer.
