“…Characteristically, cutaneous melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, with the worst prognosis, and it affects a younger population than most cancers [ 3 , 4 ]. First described by René Laënnac in 1806, cutaneous malignant melanoma is based on the atypical transformation of melanocytes, melanin-producing cells present in the basal layer of the epidermis, that expand into the deep and superficial layers [ 5 ]. The risk factors involved in the pathogenesis of this disease are numerous, among those already identified are white skin, hair, and light eyes; sensitivity to the sun; family history of melanoma; and dysplastic nevi.…”

“…Although sun exposure is considered a great risk factor, areas not exposed to the sun may also develop neoplasias [ 6 ]. The melanomas that infiltrate the dermis are capable of producing metastases, and are responsible for the high mortality rate of the disease [ 4 , 5 , 7 ].…”

“…No Brasil, a estimativa para cada ano do triênio 2020 -2022 aponta a ocorrência de 625 mil casos novos de câncer, sendo o câncer de pele não melanoma o mais incidente (177 mil), seguido pelos cânceres de mama e próstata (66 mil cada), cólon e reto (41 mil cada), pulmão (30 mil) e estômago ( 21 O câncer de pele é definido como a neoplasia que promove o crescimento desordenado das células da pele e, de acordo com a linhagem acometida, pode ser do tipo melanoma e não melanoma. O câncer de pele do tipo melanoma é a neoplasia cutânea maligna que atinge os melanócitos da camada basal da epiderme, transformando-se e expandindo-se para outras camadas, sejam elas mais profundas ou superficiais (Iranzo et al, 2015). Apesar de ser pouco prevalente no Brasil e no mundo, esse apresenta alta letalidade, com estimativa de cerca de 8.450 novos casos no país, sendo 4.200 em homens e 4.250 em mulheres, mas se diagnosticado e tratado precocemente apresenta elevada chance de cura (Instituto Nacional do Câncer [INCA], 2020).…”
