The anatomic distribution of melanoma and relationships with childhood nevus distribution in Colorado.

30 Jul 2009 The nature of the relationship between nevus development in childhood and later development of melanoma is unclear. Data on melanoma diagnoses by histologic type and anatomic site were obtained for 2351 white, non-Hispanics in Colorado from the ... Read more...

Germline analysis of thymidine/guanidine polymorphism at position 309 of the Mdm2 promoter in malignant melanoma patients.

30 Jul 2009 p53 is a major tumor suppressor gene, frequently mutated in human cancer, but rarely mutated in malignant melanoma (MM). Mdm2, the major negative regulator of p53, is overexpressed in 50-60% of MM patients, by an unknown mechanism. Single nucleotide ... Read more...

Skin cancer trends among Asians living in Singapore from 1968 to 2006.

20 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: The incidence rates of skin cancers in Caucasian populations are increasing. There is little information on skin cancer trends in Asians, who have distinctly different skin types. OBJECTIVE: We sought to study skin cancer incidence rates ... Read more...
