"If melanoma is being over-diagnosed, it means that too many people are getting the scary news that they have cancer..."

Immunotherapy has worked to treat cancer in the blood, but now researchers have a new method that could work on hard-to-treat melanoma.

Melanoma alters metabolism of healthy tissue elsewhere in the body. The new research suggests targeting these tissues could help treat cancer.

New research upends ideas about why some moles become melanomas while others remain benign. The work could also pave the way for treatments.

A new wearable patch for treating melanoma dissolves quickly while leaving tiny needles that deliver chemotherapy drugs over time.

"Patients often ask 'Why am I so unlucky? Why did my cancer spread?' As doctors, we never had an answer... This research provides an explanation."

A simple blood test could offer a way to monitor very early signs of melanoma of the eye, researchers say.

Cases of melanoma among US teens and young adults have dropped sharply, a sign that public health efforts to encourage sun protection may be taking hold.

A molecule that disperses UV light with a superfast twist similar to flamenco dancers' hand movements could lead to a more protective sunscreen.

The new compound is not only exciting news for melanoma. The process could help find new treatments for other difficult-to-cure cancers, as well.
