When melanoma spreads to distant parts of the body, such as the lungs, the five-year relative survival rate is 35 percent. This means that people with melanoma that has spread to distant organs are 35 percent as likely to be alive after five years compared to the general population.

When melanoma spreads to distant parts of the body, such as the lungs, the five-year relative survival rate is 35 percent. This means that people with melanoma that has spread to distant organs are 35 percent as likely to be alive after five years compared to the general population.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the following points from my knowledge base:
- Localized melanoma: Greater than 99 percent five-year relative survival rate.
- Regional spread: 74 percent five-year relative survival rate.
- Distant spread (including to organs like the lungs): 35 percent five-year relative survival rate.

These statistics are based on studies of people diagnosed with melanoma between 2013 and 2019.
