If a melanoma has spread, chemotherapy can be used, but it is not usually effective. After a melanoma has spread, surgery and radiotherapy can be used on the secondary tumours. This will prolong life but it is not a cure

Treatment is more likely to work well when cancer is found early. If not treated, some types of skin cancer cells can spread to other tissues and organs.

 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Try to find a short effective quote || Nicole Kidman once suffered skin cancer on her leg and now avoids exposure to sunlight as much as possible. The fair-skinned Australian actress has medical parents. Her father is a clinical psychologist and her mother is a nurse educator, and they insist that spending too much in the sun is the quickest way to damage the skin. Nicole Kidman says, "I wear a lot of sunscreen. I never go in the sun. "I've had one skin cancer on my leg, and I rarely get in the sun, so that just shows you. They cut it out (the cancer). "Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I'm very medical. I come from a medical family." ||
