If caught early, melanoma, a form of skin cancer, is almost always curable. However, melanoma that is not treated quickly can be fatal. It does not discriminate, striking both women and men, young and old. Fair skin is a risk factor, yet people with darker skin also can develop this form of skin cancer. Along with effective prevention habits, people should also be more proactive in detecting possible skin cancers. Early detection is key, so you should become more familiar with your skin and visit your dermatologist on a regular basis to detect any suspicious changes. Moffitt specializes in the evaluation and treatment of patients with cancers of the skin - melanoma, basal and squamous cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and other skin tumors.
