What is Melanoma Skin Cancer?

The skin is the largest organ of the body, serving to cover and protect the internal organs. Cancer occurs when cells grow uncontrolled. When this happens in the melanocytes, or skin pigment cells, it is called melanoma skin cancer. This is different than skin cancers the start in the basal or squamous cells of the skin, which is called non-melanoma. To learn more about melanoma skin cancer, click here.
