Adjuvant Therapy for Melanoma

In melanoma, adjuvant therapy is sometimes used after surgery to reduce the risk of melanoma returning. Studies have shown that adjuvant therapy for melanoma can reduce the risk of your melanoma returning following surgery by up to 50%. However, adjuvant therapies aren’t without risk and are not appropriate for all patients. It’s important to talk about the possible benefits and risks with your doctor before making any treatment decision.
