Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 2021 Melanoma is a deadly skin cancer. Surgery is effective for early stages but there may be remnant cells. Treatments of later stages are associated with severe side effects. Moreover, a dangerous type of melanoma cannot be detected early enough for surgery.
