Examples of melanoma in the following topics:
-
- It is dangerous, but not nearly as dangerous as a melanoma.
- Most melanomas are brown-to-black lesions .
- These are called amelanotic melanomas and tend to be more aggressive.
- In comparison, the mortality rate of melanoma is 15-20% and it causes 6,5 thousand deaths per year.

-
- GD2 is expressed on the surfaces of a wide range of tumor cells, including neuroblastomas, medulloblastomas, astrocytomas, melanomas, small-cell lung cancer, osteosarcomas, and other soft tissue sarcomas.
- Topical immunotherapy utilizes an immune enhancement cream (imiquimod), which is an interferon producer, causing the patient's own killer T cells to destroy warts, actinic keratoses, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, cutaneous T cell lymphoma, and superficial spreading melanoma.
- GD2 is a disialoganglioside expressed on tumors of neuroectodermal origin, including human neuroblastomas and melanomas, with highly restricted expression on normal tissues, principally to the cerebellum and peripheral nerves in humans.
-
- However, if sunscreen penetrates into the skin, it promotes indirect DNA damage, which may play a role in the most lethal form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma.
-
- Additionally, the vast majority of non-invasive cancers are non-melanoma skin cancers caused by non-ionizing ultraviolet radiation.
-
- One form predominantly produced by UV light, malignant melanoma, is particularly invasive, causing it to spread quickly, and can often be deadly.
-
- Topical immunotherapy utilizes an immune enhancement cream (imiquimod) which is an interferon producer causing the patients own killer T cells to destroy warts, actinic keratoses, basal cell cancer, vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, squamous cell cancer, cutaneous lymphoma, and superficial malignant melanoma.
-
- Worldwide, it comprises 22.9% of all cancers (excluding non-melanoma skin cancers) in women.
