In 2025, 1,403 cases of malignant skin tumors were identified, 51 of them melanoma. Melanoma is the most aggressive form of cancer, but with early diagnosis it is curable in 90% of cases.

Dermatoscopy allows you to identify potentially dangerous signs even in the absence of a complaint, when the formation does not bother, does not bleed or change its shape.
