The incidence of melanoma has increased over the past few decades, with over 30,000 new cases reported in the United States each year, mostly in the 15 to 50 year old age group. The most likely reason for this is the increased exposure of the average citizen to sunlight, due to changing recreational habits, changing clothing styles and a growing interest in looking tan.

Melanoma is a non-communicable disease and is not transmitted as an infectious disease is. It is the spreading of the disease.
Factors that create a predisposition to malignant melanoma include a family history of the disease, having fair skin that burns easily, a history of excessive sun exposure or sunburns, having numerous moles or atypical moles, and a weakened immune system. Additionally, individuals with a personal history of melanoma or other types of skin cancer are also at an increased risk.
Melanoma of the iris is cancer of the eye.
No, melanoma is a form of skin cancer.
A dysplastic nevus is an atypical mole characterized by irregular borders, varied color, and larger size than a typical mole, but it is generally benign. In contrast, malignant melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that arises from melanocytes and can spread to other parts of the body. While dysplastic nevi can indicate an increased risk for melanoma, they are not cancerous themselves. Early detection and monitoring of dysplastic nevi can help prevent the progression to malignant melanoma.

Melanoma Research was created in 1991.
The Clark scale looks at how deeply the melanoma has gone into the different layers of the skin The Breslow scale measures the thickness of the melanoma in the skin TNM staging of melanoma describes the thickness of the melanoma and whether there is any spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body Number stages of melanoma group together the depth of the melanoma and the TNM staging in a simpler way
