| Popis: | Malignant melanoma; since long time is considered as deadly disease, but risk factor is minimized due to new technologies, substantial literatures, and promising treatments. The diverse etiopathogenesis; including physical carcinogens, bio-molecules, biological behavior, anatomical locations, and negligence; contribute to complexity of disease. So even after advanced medical technology, malignant melanoma is the challenge to doctors as well as common public. There is increase in incidence rate day by day, which directly attributes to recent concept of sun beds or tanning beds and global climate. After considering its severity, different researches are carried out in the field of radiology and biotechnology. But again these are not sufficient to control the disease. However; to reduce the mortality there is need of general public awareness regarding causative factors and preventive measures. Many literatures recently advocate for long time survival of malignant melanoma, after its early detection and treatment. |
