The melanoma Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization with the mission of saving lives from this common of the skin to detect melanoma while it is thin and curable http://www.skincheck.com/

The Melanoma Education Foundation is a non-profit organization with the mission of saving lives from this common and tragic disease by emphasizing the importance of monthly self-examination of the skin to detect melanoma while it is thin and curable. We are especially interested in reaching teens and young adults, who are often unaware of melanoma and their vulnerability to it. We also want to educate parents who, by acting now, can prevent the tragedy of melanoma from affecting their children as adults. The Foundation was established by the family of Daniel N. Fine of Peabody, Massachusetts, who lost his life to melanoma in October, 1998 at the age of 26. Our primary means of communication is by your e-mail referral of our web site to other people. If you find the information in this site useful please urge others you care about to visit the site. Downloadable literature, which can be saved and printed, then distributed or posted, is located in the "How You Can Save Lives" section.

Melanoma FAQ This FAQ was written as a public service, and is intended as an educational aid. Nothing herein should be construed as medical advice. Introduction Melanoma is a type of cancer, originating in the melanocytes, the cells containing color. Approximately 32,000 cases per year are currently diagnosed in the United States alone, and the incidence is increasing at the rate of 4.3% per year, one of the fastest increases in occurence rates of all cancers. In about 2% of occurences, the disease is present even though no skin discoloration occurs. This is called amelanotic melanoma. "According to the American Academy of Dermatology, one person dies from malignant melanoma every hour. The overall incidence rate for the disease is increasing faster than that of any other cancer and by the year 2000, an American's lifetime risk of developing melanoma will be one in 75. The disease is now the most commonly occurring cancer in women between the ages of 25 and 29 and is second only to breast cancer in women ages 30 to 34. " - Sept. 24, 1996 /PRNewswire; SOURCE: Schering-Plough Corporation. When melanoma spreads, it often affects other places on the skin, lymph nodes, lungs, liver, brain or bones. Such secondary spread is referred to as Metastatic Melanoma..

@import url("/common/screen.css"); DermNet NZ Ad Authoritative facts about the skin from the New Zealand Dermatological Society Home For patients For doctors ... Site map Search: Home Lesions Melanoma Melanoma is a serious skin cancer which is curable if detected early. Melanoma grows from pigment cells (melanocytes) in the outer layer of the skin and mucous membranes (epidermis). Although melanoma usually starts as a skin lesion, occasionally it occurs in other parts of the body such as the eye, brain, mouth or vagina. Melanoma tends to spread out within the epidermis (radial or horizontal growth phase) before moving into the deeper layer of the skin (the dermis)(vertical growth phase). It can occur in adults of any age. Melanoma is more common in people aged 50-70. Occasionally it can occur in teenagers but it is almost unheard of in children. Unfortunately, about two hundred New Zealanders die each year of melanoma, but many more are treated successfully. About one in fifteen white skinned New Zealanders are expected to develop melanoma in their lifetime. Causes The risk factors for developing melanoma include: Sun exposure particularly during childhood Serious sunburn, especially when young - however, melanoma sometimes occurs on areas of the body not normally exposed to the sun

About the FCRSA Membership Local Clubs Breed Standard ... Photo Gallery Flat-Coated Retriever Health Manual Melanoma CLINICAL SIGNS: A lesion with irregular borders and variable colors. The lesion may be brown or black and it may also have shades of red, white or blue. They grow rapidly. If located in the mouth, you might see increased salivation, mouth odor, weight loss, bloody discharge, difficulty eating and loose teeth. DIAGNOSIS: Complete physical exam including palpation of lymph nodes. Blood work should include a complete blood count and serum chemistry. Secondary bacterial infection is common with oral malignant melanomas which could cause an elevated white blood cell count. Chest x-ray. A common site for metastasis is the lung. Biopsy. This may also serve as a treatment because the entire tumor with 2-3 centimeters of healthy tissue surrounding it should be removed, if possible. This may not always be possible if the tumor has invaded the adjacent bony structures. The biopsied tissue should be examined by a pathologist. There can be some confusion at this point because 30% of melanoma biopsy specimens do not contain melanin. Your veterinarian may also choose to perform a needle aspiration of nearby lymph nodes or to surgically remove one or more lymph nodes to determine if the melanoma has metastasized. TREATMENT: Surgery to remove all or as much as the tumor as possible. If the melanoma has arisen from the oral cavity and has invaded the jaw, your veterinarian may recommend that part of the jaw bone be removed as well. This is generally recommended only if there is no evidence of metastases.

Each year in the United States, more than 53,600 people learn they have melanoma. In some parts of the world, especially among Western countries, melanoma is becoming more common every year. In the United States, for example, the percentage of people who develop melanoma has more than doubled in the past 30 years. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has written this booklet to help people with melanoma and their families and friends better understand this disease. We hope others will read it as well to learn more about melanoma. This booklet discusses risks and prevention, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and followup care. It also has information about resources and sources of support to help patients cope with melanoma. This booklet is about melanoma of the skin. Melanomas arising in areas other than the skin (such as intraocular melanoma, which is melanoma arising in the eye) are not discussed here. Also, two more common and less serious types of skin cancer (squamous cell and basal cell cancer) are discussed in another NCI booklet
