What is the difference between MELANOMA and SKIN CANCER?
This is a
question often asked or implied though it could be phrased better with
more information.
Actually, melanoma IS a skin cancer, though by far the
least common. Less than 1% of all skin cancers are melanomas, though it is the most dangerous. The other 2 types : basal and squamous are
usually not fatal; melanoma almost always is if left untreated.
Melanomas also are not as related to sun exposure as the more common
skin cancers: they may occur anywhere on the skin, including the fingers, toes, scalp, genitals, & within the eye.
