Sunlight: a major factor associated with the development of melanocytic nevi in Australian schoolchildren.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology - 1 Jan 1994

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Case-control studies have identified melanocytic nevi (MN) as the most important phenotypic risk factor for melanoma. A knowledge of any environmental factors that cause MN may facilitate prevention of melanoma. OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to explore the possible role of ambient solar irradiation in the development of MN in children. METHODS: With a standard protocol developed after...
