Core Tip	Melanoma is one of the most common cancers and its high metastatic potential has a large impact on the number of melanoma deaths. Emerging molecular knowledge may lead to further identification of clinically relevant biomarkers, such as S100B, MIA, TA-90IC, 5-S-CD, SPARC, CSPG4, HSP105, IMP3, KIF2A, miR-221, YKL-40, some cancer stem cells (CD133, Nestin, CD166, CD20, CD271) and some monoclonal antibodies (KBA62, PNL2), for malignant melanoma detection, risk stratification and prediction/prognosis. However, all current markers have some shortcomings and thus we expect there will be more novel melanoma biomarkers discovered as supplementary diagnostic criteria in the near future.
