| melanomas |
The most serious and least common form of skin cancer. Melanomas usually grow out of moles (dark raised areas) in the skin cells (called melanocytes) that produce pigment, and can spread to the internal organs. Although people can die from melanoma, it can be easily identified and if caught early, can be treated.
