They cut all of them out from your skin. It's just that melanoma often spread to other parts of your body quickly, which is why it is so deadly. But it still is standard practice to excise the portion that is visible on the skin surface.

One thing to note is that even the report you get after surgery says that all of the tumor was excised properly, it does NOT mean all of the cancer is necessarily gone, just that the one tumor was removed from that one area.

Idk if that makes any sense. I get these cases as part of my job which is both interesting and also terrifying at how readily they spread. But idk that I can explain well.
