Melanoma in 9/11 Responders and Survivors 

Melanoma skin cancer (as opposed to non-melanoma skin cancer) is not as common, but it is much more serious than other types of skin cancer. Early detection is key to successfully treating melanoma skin cancer.

The 9/11 victims’ lawyers at Hmelanomaansen & Rosasco, LLP represent a large number of first responders and survivors (Downtown Manhattan residentsworkersteachers, and students) with melanoma in the VCF claims system, helping many get the 9/11 cancer compensation they need and deserve.

Melanoma Cancer Conditions

Melanoma cancer is sometimes called malignant melanoma and cutaneous melanoma. Most melanoma tumors are brown or black, but some melanomas can appear pink, tan, or even white. Melanomas can develop anywhere on the skin, but they are more likely to start on the chest and back in men, and on the legs in women. The neck and face are other common sites. Melanoma cancer can also appear in the eye.

Melanoma Treatment Options

Based on the stage of the cancer, treatment options may include:

  • Surgery
  • Immunotherapy, including tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs)
  • Targeted therapy
  • Chemotherapy
  • Radiation therapy
  • Melanoma vaccines
