| Treatment of advanced malignant melanoma is performed from a multidisciplinary approach including [[Dermatology|dermatologists]], medical [[oncologists]], radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, general surgeons, [[plastic surgery|plastic surgeons]], [[neurologists]], [[neurosurgeons]], [[otorhinolaryngologists]], [[radiologists]], [[pathologists]]/dermatopathologists, research scientists, [[nurse practitioner]]s and [[physician assistant]]s, and [[palliative care]] experts. Nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) are qualified to evaluate and treat patients on behalf of their supervising physicians. Treatment guidelines can be found through many resources available to health care professionals around the world. Inspired by melanoma’s increasing prevalence, researchers are seeking to understand the pathways that regulate [[melanin]] production.
