3 Chapter 6 A 10-year-old boy who lived in Florida his entire life was diagnosed with melanoma. The boy previously had a mole that was ignored. 1. Why is melanoma the deadliest type of skin cancer? Melanoma is a type of skin cancer the develops when melanocytes mutate. Melanocytes are the pigment-producing cells giving skin color (Mayo Clinic, 2023). The multiplication of these mutated cells causes cancerous growth and potential malignancy. Malignant melanoma is the is the deadliest type of skin cancer because of its tendency to metastasize quickly (Moini, 2020). To metastasize is spread secondary tumors from one part of the body to another. Once metastasized, treatment can be difficult due to the numerous areas affected. 2. List the methods that may be used to reduce the likelihood of developing melanoma. It is known that UV light (ultraviolet) causes skin cancer; this light can come from tanning booths and the natural sunlight. An individual can limit UV exposure to reduce the risk of developing melanoma by avoiding tanning beds and over exposure to the sun’s rays. Wearing sun hats, sunscreen with an appropriate SPF rating, and planning around high sun hours are good practices in mitigating over exposure. 3. How is melanoma differentiated from the other types of skin cancer discussed in this chapter? Melanoma is differentiated from other types of skin cancer in that it typically originates as a mole or a change in an existing mole (Mayo Clinic, 2023). In healthy skin you will see the development of new pigment or a growth on the skin that may resemble a mole and it may evolve quickly. These growths may develop on any area of the body, including areas unexposed to sunlight, and can be regularly checked for with a yearly dermatologist visit.
