Melanomas - Visible And Invisible

March 15th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Health and Fitness

Melanoma is essentially skin cancer. If detected early
enough, it can be cured in ninety-five percent of the
cases. However, it can also be fatal if allowed to run its
course. Melanomas can be almost invisible in some cases, so
a cursory examination is not effective in some cases.
Hidden melanomas are, fortunately, relatively rare.

All melanomas are formed from cells that produce pigment.
These are called melanocytes. So the cancer can develop
wherever there is pigmentation in the body. Hidden
melanomas can occur in difficult to detect parts of the
body, hence the need to do a thorough check annually.
