According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), in the United States, the number of new cases of melanoma has more than doubled in the past 20 years. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that begins in certain cells in the skin called melanocytes. Melanocytes are found throughout the lower part of the epidermis, one of the skin's two main layers. They produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Sometimes, clusters of melanocytes and surrounding tissue form benign (noncancerous) growths called moles. Moles can be flat or raised and are usually round or oval and smaller than a pencil eraser. They may be present at birth or may appear later on in life usually before age 40. Melanoma occurs when melanocytes become malignant. When melanoma starts in the skin, this is called cutaneous melanoma. Ocular melanoma or intraocular melanoma is when melanoma occurs in the eye.

Home About Antigenics Disease Areas Melanoma What is melanoma? Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. Although melanoma is the least common type of skin cancer, it is the most serious form of the disease. Melanoma occurs in melanocytes , a type of cell in the skin that produces the pigment that gives skin its natural color. Melanoma begins when melanocytes become malignant , which can occur on any skin surface. In men, it is often found on the trunk (the area from the shoulders to the hips) or the head and neck. In women, melanoma often develops on the lower legs. The chance of developing melanoma increases with age, but it affects people of all age groups and is one of the most common cancers in young adults. How many people get melanoma? In some parts of the world, especially among Western countries, the number of people who develop melanoma is increasing faster than for any other cancer. In the United States, for example, the number of new cases of melanoma has more than doubled in the past 20 years. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2005, there will be 59,580 new cases of melanoma in the United States, and about 7,770 people will die of the disease. Although melanoma only accounts for about 4 percent of skin cancer cases, it causes about 79 percent of skin cancer deaths.

Most skin cancers arise in the flat, scale-like cells called squamous cells, or the round cells under squamous cells called basal cells. Squamous or basal cell cancers, or carcinomas, are highly treatable by dermatologists. Melanocytes are found primarily in the skin, but also may be found in the eye, digestive tract and lymph nodes. Malignant melanoma of the skin is the most deadly of the three types of skin cancer and usually begins in a mole. In some parts of the world, especially among Western countries, the number of people who develop melanoma is increasing faster than that of any other cancer. In the United States, for example, the number of new cases of melanoma has more than doubled in the past 20 years. Back to Top Who is at Risk?
