cells grow out of control and become a cancerous and life-threatening melanoma. Melanoma accounts for 5% of all skin cancers and it results in most of the skin cancer deaths. At first‚ melanoma cells are found in the epidermis and top layers of the dermis. But‚ once they grow downward into the dermis the cancer can come into contact with lymph and blood vessels‚ and from there spread to other parts of the body. If the melanoma is thicker it has a bigger chance of spreading to other places in the

THE REOCCURENCE OFMALIGNANT MELANOMA. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Whether it’s called malignant melanoma or simply melanoma‚ this cancer can metastasize (spread) rapidly. With early detection and proper treatment‚ melanoma has a high cure rate. Early detection and treatment are possible because melanoma typically begins on the surface of the skin. It develops when melanocytes are damaged‚ which causes these cells to grow uncontrollably. As melanoma develops where melanocytes occur

of Cancer vary depending on where the cancer is located‚ where it has spread‚ and how big the tumor is. Some cancers can be felt or seen through the skin - a swelling on the breast or testicle can be a sign of cancer in those areas. Skin cancer (melanoma) is often noted by a change in a wart or mole on the skin. Some oral cancers present white patches inside the mouth or white spots on the tongue. Other cancers have symptoms that are not physically apparent. Some brain tumors tend to present symptoms

This either creates an abnormal protein or no protein at all‚ both of which cause mutated cells to multiply uncontrollably. (Association‚ 2011) Melanoma can either be caused by inherited genes or defects that are caused from environmental factors‚ such as exposure to too much sun. However‚ according to the Centre for Genetics Education‚ all cancers can be considered genetic in origin because they
