Ultraviolet rays in sunlight are a significant risk factor for skin cancer, including melanoma, one of the deadliest types affecting thousands of Americans annually.
New therapies in the last 15 years have significantly improved melanoma treatment, extending and enhancing patients' lives, even in late-stage cases.
Melanoma, originating in melanocytes, is distinct from other skin cancers, having a more aggressive nature and a higher likelihood of spreading to other body parts.
Detecting melanoma early is crucial; while most cases show as dark blotches, some may appear as bumps with skin growth into it, making detection more challenging.
