      What is melanoma? What causes melanoma? There is no known cause? Any cancer affects the human body through the cells. Cancer is a disease of the cells. Cancer occurs when excessive iron accumulates in the cells, tissues and organs. Skin cancer is a multistep process during which skin cells acquire iron overload. Melanoma is disorder of iron metabolism characterized by excessive iron absorption and carcinogenic accumulation of iron in melanocytes. Iron overload can affect genetic material (DNA, RNA) and cellular organelles (mitochondria, lysosomes, cytoplasm, cytoplasmic membrane). Father of Oncology says that cancer is primarily an iron disease. Global cancer death rates are more than 50 per cent higher in men than women, because men have more iron in their bodies than women. Metastatic melanoma is a fatal disease because chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy are not iron chelation therapies. If cancers are caused by iron-related genes (genes directly/indirectly involved in iron metabolism) and iron-related events (when excessive iron accumulates within the cells due to carcinogenic lifestyle events), then only anti-iron drugs and methods will successfully beat metastatic melanoma.  http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/opinions/176716  ;  http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/opinions/176584  ;  Vadim
