Acral Lentiginous Melanoma market is expected to double to USD 2.5 billion by 2034

Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is a rare but aggressive subtype of melanoma that typically appears on the palms, soles, or under the nails. Unlike other melanoma forms, ALM is less associated with UV exposure and more common among Asian, African, and Hispanic populations. It often goes undiagnosed until advanced stages, making it a serious dermatology and oncology concern.
