About Melanoma
Melanoma is cancer of the skin. It is found in cells that make pigment called melanocytes. It can occur in the skin, in moles, or pigmented areas and also the eye and intestines. The three types of skin cancer that account for nearly 100% of skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. Merkel cell carcinoma is an extremely rare skin cancer but is very aggressive.
