Malignant melanoma is the most life-threatening form of skin cancer.
By the year 2000, an American's lifetime risk of developing melanoma will be one in 75. Over the past two decades, the incidence of malignant melanoma in Caucasians increased at a faster rate than that of any other cancer, with the number of cases doubling. Studies have shown that support and information play a critical role in helping people with melanoma cope with their fears, deal with treatment, and improve their quality of life. It is Cancer Care's mission to provide that support and information to cancer patients and their families. Or click here for on-line assistance.
