A small fraction of ordinary moles turn into melanoma skin cancer.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a small fraction of ordinary moles turn into melanoma skin cancer?

Unclear. The retrieved items do not directly quantify how often ordinary moles become melanoma. One editorial links melanocytes to melanoma and notes moles as a risk factor, and one mouse study shows nevi progressing to melanoma after chemical initiation and UV exposure, but neither establishes the rate at which ordinary human moles turn into melanoma.
