Melanoma Overview Melanoma is an aggressive malignancy arising from melanocytes — pigment-producing cells residing predominantly in the skin but also in ocular and mucosal sites — representing the most lethal form of skin cancer due to its pronounced metastatic potential. Ultraviolet radiation-induced DNA damage, particularly cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer formation, drives mutagenesis in sporadic melanoma, while germline CDKN2A mutations underlie familial predisposition. Somatic driver mutations — BRAF V600 in approximately 50%, NRAS in 15-20%, and NF1 or KIT alterations in the remaining subtypes — activate MAPK...
