Stage IV melanoma has traveled beyond the original tumor site and beyond the regional lymph nodes to more distant areas of the body. The most common sites of metastasis for Stage IV melanoma are distant skin and lymph nodes, then lungs, liver, brain, bone, and/or intestines. The level of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the blood may or may not be elevated. The level of LDH is an important sign, as it usually indicates overall tumor burden and possibly how aggressive the tumor is—in other words, it usually indicates the amount of cancer in the body.
