Recommendations for Primary Prevention of Skin Melanoma

2020-08-31

Abstract excerpt

Melanoma (MEL) is an aggressive form of skin cancer, causing over 60,000 deaths every year and it is considered one of the fastest-growing cancer forms. Genome-wide association studies have identified numerous genetic variants (SNPs) independently associated with MEL. The effects of such SNPs can be combined into a single polygenic risk score (PRS). Stratification of individuals according to PRS could be introduce...
