    Glossary Melanoma

    type of skin cancer originating from pigment-producing melanocytes

    Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops from melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. It is considered the most dangerous form of skin cancer because it can spread to other parts of the body if not detected and treated early.
