These cells predominantly occur in skin, but are also found in other parts of the body, including the bowel and the eye.Melanoma can originate in any part of the body that contains melanocytes.
Melanoma is much more dangerous if it is not found in the early stages. It causes the majority 75% of deaths related to skin cancer. Worldwide, doctors diagnose about 160,000 new cases of melanoma yearly.
