Fighting Melanoma at CTCA
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), we use many tools to help you fight melanoma on all fronts. Our cancer experts provide a powerful combination of traditional and new, innovative therapies for melanoma. We work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
Your personalized treatment plan may include:
- Surgery is often used as a treatment for melanoma. There are several types of surgery depending on the stage and location of cancer.
- Metronomic Chemotherapy divides a powerful dose of chemotherapy drugs into smaller doses, given over several days. This approach exposes cancer cells to the drugs for a longer period of time, while also seeking to reduce the unpleasant side effects often experienced with larger doses.
- Biotherapy/Immunotherapy is a treatment that is sometimes used for melanoma. Immunotherapy causes the body's own natural defenses (immune system) to attack the cancer.
In addition to the therapies described above, CTCA enriches your treatment by offering complementary medicine therapies, such as naturopathic medicine, nutrition therapy, mind-body medicine, image enhancement, and spiritual support. These supportive therapies help to reduce side effects and improve your quality of life during and after treatment.
