title: Melanoma.
abstract: Cutaneous melanoma is becoming more common. Although still rarer than some cancers it is important, particularly as it afflicts young adults relatively frequently. Furthermore early detection with resultant better prognosis should be achievable if the public was to become more aware, and if health-care professionals were more familiar with melanoma and the behaviour of normal moles.
