What Is Melanoma?
Approximately 9,500 people in the United States are diagnosed with one of the four forms of skin cancer daily. Melanoma, the most invasive and severe form, is estimated to affect one in five Americans at some point in their lives. Its cases have been on the rise for the past 30 years, and compared to 1982, the number of people diagnosed with it in 2011 is twice as high.
