Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Five-Year Survival Rate by Melanoma Stage: Localized melanoma: Stage 0, Stage I, and Stage II: 98.4% Regional melanoma: Stage III: 63.6% Metastatic melanoma: Stage IV: 22.5%
Detailed explanation-2: -UV exposure UV rays from the sun and indoor tanning are a powerful attack on the skin and the primary risk factor for developing melanoma and other skin cancers.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Stage II melanoma, the cancer cells are in both the first layer of skin-the epidermis-and the second layer of skin-the dermis. The melanoma is higher risk than Stage I, either due to depth of tumor or presence of ulceration, but there is no evidence the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or distant sites (metastasis).
