What are the causes of melanoma

Melanoma, I believe most people know too little about this disease, and many people have not even heard of melanoma. Next, let's first analyze the causes of melanoma .

1. Benign melanoma is a black mole, among which junctional moles are most likely to become malignant, mixed moles are less likely, and endothelial moles rarely become malignant. However, most scalp melanomas are not transformed from black moles, so some people believe that this disease is not entirely related to black moles. This is one of the causes of melanoma.

2. Sunlight and ultraviolet radiation are also one of the causes of melanoma. Scalp melanoma is more common in exposed parts. According to Israeli statistics, the incidence of melanoma among agricultural workers is 15.4/100,000, which is higher than that in cities. The incidence of melanoma among residents in coastal areas is higher than that in mountainous areas. Since the 1980s, the incidence of melanoma has more than doubled.

3. The cause of melanoma is also related to race. The incidence of melanoma is higher among white people than among people of color. For example, the annual incidence rate among white people in the United States is as high as 42/100,000, while that among black people is only 0.8/100,000.

4. Other factors such as genetics, trauma, chronic mechanical stimulation, etc. may also be the causes of melanoma.

The above is a detailed description of the causes of melanoma. I hope it can help everyone understand the knowledge of melanoma in this regard and cure melanoma in time. If you have other questions about melanoma, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
