GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, develops in the cells (melanocytes) that produce melanin-the pigment that gives your skin its color. Melanoma can also form in your eyes and, rarely, inside your body, such as in your nose or throat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nodular melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. It grows and spreads more quickly than other types, and a doctor usually diagnoses it at a later stage. If melanoma has not spread, the 5-year survival rate is 98.4 percent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skin cancer-the abnormal growth of skin cells-most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. But this common form of cancer can also occur on areas of your skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight. There are three major types of skin cancer-basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Melanoma is a cancer that begins in the melanocytes. Other names for this cancer include malignant melanoma and cutaneous melanoma. Most melanoma cells still make melanin, so melanoma tumors are usually brown or black.
