Skin Cancer (Melanoma) Treatment

In melanoma, early diagnosis makes a real difference. Our dermatology, surgical and medical oncology team plans your path together.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Multidisciplinary Melanoma Council

Each case is decided in a board with the dermatologist, surgical oncologist, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist and dermatopathologist, by stage.

Early Diagnosis with Dermoscopy

High-resolution dermoscopic examination maps the structure of suspicious moles in detail, increasing the chance of early-stage detection.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy

The first draining lymph node is targeted to accurately stage regional spread, avoiding unnecessary extensive lymph node surgery.

Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapy

Molecularly guided systemic treatment for advanced and metastatic melanoma is delivered with checkpoint inhibitors and BRAF/MEK inhibitors.

Wide Excision + Microsurgical Reconstruction

Wide excision with an oncologically safe margin and, when needed, microsurgical reconstruction preserve function and aesthetics.

Internationally Recognized Team and International Patient Support

A high-volume experienced team, care at JCI standards and end-to-end support for international patients.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.

Transparent, guaranteed price

A quote prepared from your medical information; no extra charge for the treatments it covers.

TREATMENT TIMELINE

From day one to discharge

The timeline below is an average and varies by patient, diagnosis and clinical status. Exact timing and all included services are detailed in your personalized treatment offer.
Step 1
Application and dermoscopic evaluation — The suspicious lesion is examined with dermoscopy; existing images and reports are shared.
Step 2
Biopsy and dermatopathology — Excisional biopsy and pathological assessment including Breslow thickness, ulceration and mitosis are performed.
Step 3
Staging and molecular testing — When needed, staging with PET-CT and profiling with BRAF/NRAS molecular testing.
Step 4
Oncology council and personalized plan — All findings are reviewed in the council; the order of surgery, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and radiotherapy is planned.
Step 5
Treatment and follow-up — The planned treatment is delivered; regular follow-up for recurrence and metastasis and tele-oncology support are provided.
Every treatment offer is presented in full detail — accommodation, transfer, interpreter and follow-up included — clearly stating what is covered.
