Popis:	Malignant melanoma is a type of skin cancer that is characterized by its aggressiveness and treatment resistance. The main risk factors that are associated with development of malignant melanoma are sun exposure and other sources of ultraviolet radiation, the phenotype (hair, eyes and fair skin), the presence of family history of melanoma and dysplastic nevus syndrome. The increased incidence of malignant melanoma in recent decades has created a public health problem and has promoted the development of techniques for early detection of melanoma. Although definitive diagnosis is histological, these non-invasive techniques can help us get an early diagnosis of melanoma and detect changes in existing moles or new lesions. This article presents a review of major risk factors for developing malignant melanoma and early detection techniques of melanoma in high risk patients.
