Advances in Melanoma

Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer; it develops from the melanin-producing cells known as melanocytes. It typically occurs in the skin, but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye (uveal melanoma).

In the present book, twelve typical literatures about Melanoma published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on Melanoma. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in Melanoma as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
