Abstract: Melanoma is very harmful form of skin cancer and is accountable for over 70 percent of deaths from skin cancer, also known as the deadliest form. Melanomas arise from melanocytes which are malignant. Melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer that is rising rapidly. Because of this feature, one of the fastest-growing cancers worldwide remains malignant melanoma. It is important to detect it at an early stage in order to decrease the death rate due to malignant melanoma skin cancer. The price and the time taken for doctors to detect melanoma in all patients is more. Many cases of cancer are misdiagnosed early on as something else that leads to significant effects, like a patient's death. There are also cases where patients have other issues and doctors believe they may have skin cancer. Here, we have reviewed the problem of the classification of melanoma and its treatment. Hence presented a review on classification techniques used by different researchers and some cure approaches used by doctors. Because the wrong classification of skin cancer or melanoma leads to wrong cure method so needs to classify melanoma correctly for early diagnosis and treatment.
