Melanoma is the most deadly of all skin cancer, and the incidence is increasing.   It is estimated that 1 in 50 people will get melanoma in their life.    

​

The Texas Melanoma Institute was founded to promote awareness, detection, diagnosis, and early intervention of malignant melanoma skin cancer.  We are saving lives, one patient at a time. 

​

It is estimated that over 178,000 cases of new melanoma will be diagnosed in 2018, and more than 9,000 deaths expected. 

 

Early detection is critical.  Doctor-performed skin examination is the key to detection, and, in many cases, is the difference between life and death.
