Epidemiological Aspects of Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma
Description
The study of the relationship between acquired melanocytic nevi and melanoma which began about 15 years ago has led to useful new information about predictors of melanoma risk, and in addition has opened new perspectives on the development of nevi in children. Definition of the factors for nevus development in children may lead to the possibility of primary prevention programs for melanoma in younger generations of children.
