Melanoma Treatment
Clinics in East Grinstead, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Caterham, Orpington and Oxted
At The Ü Clinic, we understand the serious nature of melanoma and the importance of early detection and specialized care. Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of skin cancer that develops from melanocytes, the cells that produce skin pigment. Although it accounts for a smaller percentage of skin cancer cases, melanoma is particularly dangerous due to its ability to spread quickly to other parts of the body.
Melanoma Treatment and Advanced Mole Mapping at The Ü Clinic
Our dedicated team at The Ü Clinic is committed to providing expert, compassionate care with advanced technology, including AI-powered Fotofinder mole mapping, to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
What is Melanoma? Understanding Risk Factors and Early Signs
Melanoma often results from UV exposure, either from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds, but it can also appear in areas not exposed to sunlight. People with fair skin, a history of sunburn, numerous moles, or a family history of melanoma are at higher risk. Recognizing the warning signs of melanoma is essential, and we recommend regular self-examinations of your skin.
The “ABCDE” rule can help you identify potential melanomas:
- Asymmetry: One half of the mole doesn’t match the other.
- Border: Edges are irregular, notched, or blurred.
- Colour: Uneven shades or multiple colorus in a single mole.
- Diameter: Larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser).
- Evolving: Any change in size, shape, or colour.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to have the mole evaluated by a specialist.
Advanced Mole Mapping with Fotofinder and AI Technology
At The Ü Clinic, we use the cutting-edge Fotofinder mole mapping system, enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), to assist in the early detection and monitoring of melanoma. Fotofinder provides a detailed, full-body map of your moles and skin lesions, allowing us to track changes over time with remarkable accuracy. The AI technology analyzes each mole, detecting subtle variations that may not be visible to the human eye. This revolutionary system enables our specialists to identify suspicious moles early, even in patients with many moles or complex skin patterns.
During your visit, our specialists will combine a comprehensive visual examination with Fotofinder’s advanced AI analysis to assess each mole. If any mole appears suspicious based on these findings, we may recommend a biopsy to confirm whether melanoma or other skin conditions are present. This advanced mole mapping process gives patients peace of mind and provides a critical layer of protection against skin cancer.
Treatment Options for Melanoma at The Ü Clinic
If melanoma is diagnosed, The Ü Clinic offers a variety of treatment options based on the stage and extent of the cancer. For early-stage melanomas, surgical excision to remove the affected tissue is often effective. Our expert surgeons focus on achieving complete removal of the melanoma while minimizing visible scarring, giving patients both medical and aesthetic reassurance.
For cases where melanoma is more advanced, we may recommend a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) to determine whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. If melanoma is found in the lymph nodes, further treatments such as lymph node dissection, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy may be necessary. Our team will guide you through each step, offering personalized care tailored to your specific situation and needs.
