According to the American Skin Association, the incidence of melanoma is increasing worldwide. The median age of diagnosis is 59 years and the median age of death due to melanoma is 67 years.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Melanoma Therapeutics market for the period 2015-2019. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of various drugs used in the treatment of melanoma that are available in the market. The market is divided into four segments: CM, OM, MM, and Others.

According to the report, the number of people being diagnosed with melanoma has increased worldwide. The high prevalence of melanoma among people has increased the demand for drugs used in the treatment of the disease.
