Cancer, Malignant Melanoma

**Prof. Dr. Sinsi** · 07-22-2012

* 1

A skin cancer that begins in cells called melanocytes that can grow together to form benign (not cancerous) moles

A change in size, shape, or color of a mole can be a sign of melanoma

Melanoma can be cured if detected early, before spread (metastasis) to other areas of the body

Diagnosis is confirmed with a biopsy of the abnormal skin

Sun exposure can cause skin damage that can lead to melanoma
