Melanoma

Melanoma is a cancer that begins in melanocytes. Other names for this cancer include malignant melanoma and cutaneous melanoma. Most melanoma cells still produce melanin, so melanoma tumors are usually brown or black. But some melanomas do not produce melanin and may appear pink, red, or white. Many moles, brown spots and vegetation on the skin are harmless - but not always. ABCDE and the Duck Sign can help you get melanoma.
