Melanoma
Definition
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops from the pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is considered the most dangerous form of skin cancer due to its ability to spread to other parts of the body if not detected early, requiring treatments such as surgery, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
