What is Melanoma?
Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. It is the leading cause of death from skin disease.
It involves cells called melanocytes, which produce a skin pigment called melanin. Melanin is responsible for skin and hair color.
Melanoma can also involve the colored part of the eye. For information about that form of melanoma, see melanoma of the eye.
