Doctors, what are the causes of metastatic melanoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Melanoma=Mole Cancer: Cancerous moles, or melanoma can be genetic. Or they can arise from sun exposure to a mole. Sporadic exposure such as sunburns lead to a higher risk of melanomas in the moles. So a larger number of moles increases the melanoma risk. Redheads have a higher risk of melanoma.
