Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is a type of skin cancer that develops from pigment-producing cells called melanocytes, which produce melanin—the pigment that gives your skin its colour. When melanocytes start to grow out of control, it leads to melanoma. Although melanoma is less common than other types of skin cancer, it is the most dangerous type as it is more likely to spread to other parts of the body if it isn’t caught and treated early.
The sooner melanoma is caught and treated, the less disfigurement and complications there are. At TMSC, we carefully excise the lesion with appropriate margins and send it for pathology analysis. Our melanoma surgery Toronto procedures are personalized and tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring the best possible outcome. Our team of experienced board-certified surgeons specializes in melanoma surgery and is dedicated to providing high-quality care for patients diagnosed with this type of skin cancer.
