What is Melanoma?

Melanoma is the deadliest type of skin cancer, but is highly curable if caught early.

Anyone can get melanoma skin cancer.

Black and brown skin is less likely to be damaged by the sun, but that doesn’t stop the development of melanoma.

Melanoma is 20 times more common in white people than in black people. However, people with skin of color are more likely to have advanced melanoma at diagnosis, leading to lower 5-year survival rates when compared to white people .
