Special Issue on Melanoma

Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. The first sign of melanoma usually is a change in the size, shape, color, or feel of a mole. If recognized and treated early, it is almost always curable. Melanoma can be divided into many types including lentigo maligna, superficial spreading melanoma, nodular melanoma, etc. The exact cause for all melanomas isn't clear, but exposure to ultraviolet radiation increases the risk of developing melanoma.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Melanoma. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Oncolytic virotherapy
• Melanoma vaccine
• Nodular melanoma
• Metastatic melanoma
• Lentigo maligna
• Mucosal melanoma
• Desmoplastic melanoma
• Ocular melanoma
• Primary melanoma

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Melanoma” should be selected during your submission.
