Melanoma accounts for just 1% of skin cancer diagnoses but causes the majority of skin cancer deaths.1 Because of the heterogeneity of melanoma and unique genetic features of the cancer, prognosis and treatment can vary greatly. Accurate classification of melanoma is vital to understanding both the illness’s implications on the patient and the best treatment plan.
