The main cause of melanoma

Melanoma is a very common disease in life, but most people still don’t know how they get melanoma. So, what are the factors that cause melanoma ? Next, let’s learn about it from the following article.

(1) Immune deficiency as a cause of melanoma With the improvement of living standards, the life expectancy of Chinese people has been significantly extended. As people age, their immune function gradually declines. Studies have found that low immune function is one of the important causes of melanoma, so the incidence of melanoma in the elderly is very high.

(2) Benign melanin plaques are moles, of which junctional moles are most likely to become malignant, mixed moles are less likely, and endothelial moles rarely become malignant. However, most scalp melanomas are not transformed from moles, so some people believe that melanoma is not entirely related to moles. Therefore, the cause of this melanoma is not too certain.

(3) The incidence of melanoma is higher among white people than among people of color. For example, the annual incidence of melanoma in white Americans is as high as 42/100,000, while that in black Americans is only 0.8/100,000.

The above is a detailed description of the causes of melanoma. I hope it can help everyone understand the knowledge of melanoma in this regard and cure melanoma in time. If you have other questions about melanoma, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
