Insight into a clinic day: early-detected melanoma

Malignant melanoma, also known as "black skin cancer", is one of the most aggressive types of skin cancer. It develops from pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) and can form metastases very early. Early detection and treatment are therefore crucial for successful therapy.

On this patient's back a suspicious mole was discovered by dermatologist Dr. Tamara Kopp. The suspicious tissue was removed and histologically examined. Dr. Tamara Kopp's suspicion was confirmed: it was a melanoma.

Regular skin checks, protection from UV rays, and self-examination of moles are essential for prevention. People at higher risk should have a skin cancer screening at least once a year.
