Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that arises from the uncontrolled growth and division of melanocytes, specialized cells responsible for melanin production. Despite accounting for about 1 percent of all skin cancers in the United States, melanoma is considered the most dangerous due to its potential to spread and cause most skin cancer-related deaths.
Numerous studies have examined the relationship between dietary patterns and the prevention and development of melanoma, revealing potential implications for the effectiveness of cancer treatments.
