Melanomas

Melanoma is a skin cancer that people need to watch out for because it's the most deadly. There were 68,130 new cases of melanoma in 2010, yet it accounted for almost 75 percent of skin cancer deaths. Melanoma develops in skin pigment cells (melanocytes). If melanomas aren't discovered and treated early, they may spread to other parts of your body.
