Hi Wei Chiang,
Sorry to hear that your father has been given such bad news. The next steps will depend on how deep the melanoma is.
For shallow melanomas, surgical removal with good margins may be adequate. For deeper melanomas, he will require surgical removal of the melanoma and referral to an oncologist for further staging. This refers to investigations to check if there is a spread to the neighbouring lymph nodes or other organs.
In advanced cases, immunotherapy or targeted therapy may be required.
