Mr. J, age 42, is a construction worker in Las Vegas. He recently noticed that a mole on his face seemed to be getting larger and darker. At first he did not worry because he was in the sun a lot and assumed the change may have been caused by sunburn. After a month, not only was the mole larger and darker, but it appeared to be “bumpy.” His doctor diagnosed a malignant melanoma skin cancer following biopsy of the nevus. Mr. J reports pain in his right shin that does not go away when he puts his feet up or sleeps.Discussion QuestionsRelate Mr. J’s skin changes to the warning signs for malignant melanoma. The ABCDEs for differentiating early melanomas from benign nevi include the following: A - Asymmetry B - Border irregularity C - Color D - Diameter E - Elevated. Discuss the normal progression of this malignancy. What is the significance of the bone pain that Mr. J is experiencing? Discuss the treatment available for this patient and the prognosis for recovery.Use APA 6th Edition Format and support your responses with at least 2 peer-reviewed references within 5 years of publication.
