Melanoma diagnosis at GMI
Assessment can begin with AI-enhanced mole mapping and high-resolution digital dermoscopy. GMI also offers an urgent pathway for suspicious or changing lesions, with assessment within 15 days.
- Skin lesion checks: Mole screening, automated total body mole mapping, and digital dermoscopy for pigmented lesions.
- Tissue testing: Skin biopsy under local anesthetic, followed by histopathology with immunohistochemistry and molecular testing.
- Lymph node assessment: Fine-needle aspiration and sentinel lymph node biopsy guided by indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence.
- Imaging: PET/CT, CT, and MRI scans.
- Oncologist consultation: Online consultation is available.
Surgery and reconstruction
Prof. Panayiotis Kyzas, a consultant surgeon in head and neck oncology, performs facial skin melanoma excision. He has completed 800+ microvascular free flap reconstructions.
- Suspicious mole or skin lesion excision: The lesion is removed whole under local anesthetic, then closed with sutures and a dressing for histopathology.
- Facial melanoma excision: Wide local excision removes the melanoma. Local skin flaps or skin grafts can repair the area.
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy: ICG-guided surgery checks nearby lymph nodes and supports staging.
- Lymph node or neck dissection: Surgery removes involved regional lymph nodes.
- Reconstruction: Microvascular free flaps, skin grafts, or local flaps restore tissue after excision.
- Electrosurgery: An electric current destroys selected skin lesions after anesthetic cream is applied.
Drug therapy and radiotherapy
For advanced melanoma, GMI offers immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy in dedicated infusion suites. Targeted therapy is based on tumour biology. External beam radiotherapy uses image guidance.
- Brachytherapy (HDR): An Iridium-192 source is placed through needles or catheters, guided by CT, MRI, or ultrasound.
- Clinical trials: Patients may have access to investigational therapies.
GMI holds ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, and CHKS accreditations. Its multidisciplinary tumour boards bring oncology teams together. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.
