[Treatment of malignant melanoma].
The incidence and mortality of malignant melanoma has been steadily increasing over the past decades. The multidisciplinary Norwegian Melanoma Group published a set of guidelines for the treatment of cutaneous malignant melanoma in 1999. The guidelines were revised in 2002/2003. This article summarises the most important issues in the Norwegian guidelines and discusses some controversial aspects of melanoma management.
