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 ambi...
