Overview

Cutaneous melanoma is a type of skin cancer that arises from the pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is the most dangerous form of skin cancer and can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. Early detection and prompt treatment are essential for successful outcomes, however, cutaneous melanoma can be difficult to recognize. Certain factors, such as skin type, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, moles, and family history, can increase the risk of developing the disease. Clinical exams, imaging, and biopsy are commonly used to diagnose cutaneous melanoma. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Cutaneous melanoma is an important public health concern, as it is the most lethal form of skin cancer and has been increasing in incidence over the last few decades. Early detection is critical for treatment success and awareness of the risk factors associated with cutaneous melanoma should help reduce its prevalence.
