Can melanoma be targeted for treatment?

Patient's question:

My mother has a younger sister, who is my aunt. As she gets older, the more freckles appear on her face. It is said that freckles are caused by melanin. She now wants to undergo targeted therapy for melanoma. What methods or measures are most trustworthy?

Doctor's answer:

Melanoma is a tumor with particularly high malignancy, also known as malignant melanoma. Most primary and recurrent cases occur in the skin, but it can also develop in places like the eyes and nasal cavity. In the early stages, it may metastasize to areas such as the lungs and brain, posing significant harm to the human body. Melanoma targeted therapy is personalized molecular targeted therapy, where treatments are tailored to individual patients based on the type of genetic mutations they have, to provide the most effective molecular targeted treatment for each patient.
