Yes you can die from skin cancer, especially the one that originates from the mole. Its the most dangerous one out there. That is because it metastasises early. Metastasis is a process by which parts of the cancer breaks off and travels through the blood vessels or lymphatics to different parts of the body and starts growing there.
If a cancer hasnot metastasised by the time it it is diagnosed there is a very good chance of complete cure if the cancer can be excised as a whole. If, however there has been metastasis, it becomes very difficult to search and destroy all cancer cells and these cells will eventually grow and destroy normal cells of the body and take away all the nutrition for its own growth, eventually causing death either by constricting a vital structure or destroying it.
Of all the skin cancers melanomas( which arise from the mole) are most unpredictable and can pop up years later at wierd sitess just when you thought you had everything under control.
One must be very careful of the following skin changes
- a mole that
- suddenly grows in size
- is irregular
- is multicolored (i.e parts of it might be brown to red to black and not uniformly brown or uniformly black etc)
- a lesion on the face that does not heal.
It spread to other organs and damage the tissues deeply and the patient dies.
If you ever see anything like this, consult your doctor immediately.-

Harmful tumors are more terrible on the grounds that they have a higher possibility of metastasizing, or venturing out to various regions of the body. At the point when this happens the disease cells continue developing, exasperate, and now and again murder the solid cells which are expected to survive. Taken ideal from wiki, "Tumor, referred to therapeutically as a threatening neoplasm, is a general gathering of illnesses including unregulated cell development. In disease, cells separate and develop wildly, shaping harmful tumors, and attack close-by parts of the body. The disease may likewise spread to more removed parts of the body through the lymphatic framework or circulatory system.
Tumor cells don't do anything valuable. They spread everywhere throughout the body and consume up room and supplements.
Actually, malignancy is uncommon from different tumors since growth tries to spread. When you get excessively numerous malignancy cells in one region, the ordinary cells can't complete any work, on the grounds that the disease cells are standing out.
