Melanoma is a type of skin cancer. Find skin cancer information and treatment options and how you can prevent the disease.
Resistance to ERK signaling inhibitors in BRAFV600E-mutant melanomas and lung cancers is achieved by parallel convergent mechanisms, including amplification of the mutant allele in extrachromosomal elements, that allow tumors to adapt while maintaining their intratumor heterogeneity. Intermittent treatment wi...
Every skin is going to be affected when exposed to high levels of UV. However the severity of the burn is dependent on your skin type. Skin is often classified in six types, also called the Fitzpatrick Types. The lower your skin type the higher your risk is of severe burns. Read more:...
Evidence suggests tanning bed access and usage is driving higher rates of melanoma in specific regions Melanoma accounts for only 1% of skin cancers in the United States but results in the largest number of skin cancer deaths. Investigators evaluated the potential link between the availability and ...

Like many cancers, skin cancers -- including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma -- start as precancerous lesions. This WebMD slideshow tells you how to spot the early warning signs of skin cancer and seek treatment.
Melanoma, although less common but due to being most deadly among skin cancers, accounts for the vast majority of skin cancer death1. Recently, an estimate shows that there would be 96,480 new cases of melanoma in the United States and 7230 deaths from the disease1. Unlike many forms of ...
particularly aggressive and have a propensity for invasion and metastasis. Melanoma is the third most common type of skin cancer, after basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Despite accounting for only 1% of cases, melanoma is responsible for thevast majority of skin ...
Melanoma is the most lethal skin malignancy, driven by genetic and epigenetic alterations in the complex tumour microenvironment. While large-scale molecular profiling of melanoma has identified molecular signatures associated with melanoma progression,
Melanoma is a skin cancer that kills more than all other skin cancers combined, even though it accounts for less than 5% of all cases.1 Recently, many new molecular and target therapies have been introduced for advanced stages melanomas,2, 3 but early detection and surgery are still the on...
