What is the survival rate for stage 2 melanoma?

The five-year survival rate for stage 2 melanoma ranges from about 45% to 77%. This means that between 45% and 77% of people with stage 2 melanoma are still alive five years after diagnosis. It's important to keep a few things in mind about these numbers:

- Survival rates are based on large groups of people and cannot predict what will happen for any one individual
- Factors like your overall health, how your body responds to treatment, and access to care all play a role in your personal outlook
- Melanoma treatments are more effective now than ever before, and survival rates continue to improve over time
- New treatment options, including targeted therapies and immunotherapies, are helping people live longer

The good news is that melanoma research is moving fast, and outcomes are getting better. Talking with your care team about your specific situation will give you the clearest picture of your personal prognosis.
