Can melanoma be transmitted through other means?

Melanoma is a disease with high morbidity and mortality. Although it is not as common as other cancers, once melanoma is discovered, patients must receive timely treatment.

Experts point out that malignant melanoma is a tumor produced by skin and other melanocytes. Primary melanoma is caused by the proliferation of melanocytes in the epidermis, which manifests as a densely pigmented nodule that gradually increases and may be surrounded by a red halo. Although its incidence is lower than that of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, it is more malignant, metastasizes early, and has a high mortality rate, so early diagnosis and early treatment are very important. Except for cases of secondary canceration caused by giant congenital nevus, which are more common in children, malignant melanoma mostly occurs.

Most malignant melanomas occur due to repeated friction, scratching and damage to the nevus, which causes malignant transformation. Improper excavation and drug corrosion can transform benign nevus into malignant melanoma.

Malignant melanoma develops rapidly in women during pregnancy or childbearing age, suggesting that the disease is related to endocrine. In terms of age, it mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, and very few occur before puberty. It is reported that 84% of malignant melanomas come from benign moles.

Melanoma is a very harmful disease. It not only endangers the patient's physical and mental health, but also affects the patient's normal life. In daily life, we must know more about the disease, which is very helpful for treatment. Finally, I hope that the patient can recover soon.
