Press information August 1, 2002 News this month Does sunscreen increase or decrease melanoma risk? Can using sunscreen help prevent melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of cancer? Conversely, does using sunscreen increase the risk of developing melanoma? That's the controversy researchers across the country have been attempting to resolve. It is an urgent matter: in Western countries in particular, melanoma is increasing faster than any other cancer. In the U.S., the number of new cases of melanoma has more than doubled in the past 20 years. Martin Weinstock, MD, who works in the dermatoepidemiology unit of the VA Medical Center in Providence, has been studying the relationship for years. In 1999, he published an article in the

MALIGNANT MELANOMA What is it? What's it look like? Melanoma takes many different forms. The most common is known as "superficial spreading" melanoma and usually begins as a tan spot that may slowly grow and change. Another type of melanoma is called "nodular" melanoma and usually develops in a black, blue or white mark that rapidly grows into a bump. To find out if your mole could be a melanoma, a doctor will need to examine you. If your mole is suspicious appearing (see The ABCDEs of melanoma to see what makes a mole suspicious), your doctor will likely take a small sample of it (biopsy) and/or refer you to a surgeon to do so. Melanoma (superficial spreading) of the nose Melanoma (superficial spreading) of the foot Melanoma (nodular) on the arm Congenital mole (nevus) How do I avoid getting it?

MALIGNANT MELANOMA Prof. Camillo O. DI CICCO Member of " PIGMENTED CELL RESEARCH INTEREST GROUP " N.I.H. Melanoma is the most aggressive of malignant cutaneous tumours. Because cases presenting with lymphonode involvement and distant metastases carry a very poor prognosis (50% and 20% respectively alive in 5 years) while on the contrary those presenting without evident lymphonode involvement have a much better survival (60% alive in 5 years). Survival is moreover directly related to the depth of tumour invasion: Melanoma thickness - 10 yr survival < 1.0 mm. - 90% 1.0 / 1.49 mm. - 78% 1.50 / 4.00 mm. - 65% > 4.00 mm. - 40% It is therefore extremely important a malignant melanoma early diagnosis according to the ABCD rules listed on page 3.

"Melanoma: Watch Your Back" Article authored by Anastasia Petro, MD, Jennifer Schwartz, MD These days it's not only the suspicious stranger lurking behind your back that you have to watch. In the United States, you are more likely to run into trouble from a melanoma on your back, the most common location of this potentially deadly skin cancer. Each year over a million people in the United States alone will be diagnosed with skin cancer. Of these, approximately 80,000 will be afflicted with melanoma. The incidence or the number of new cases of melanoma per year continues to rise. One in seventy-one persons born in the year 2001 will develop melanoma over their lifetime. Although it is not the most common skin cancer, melanoma is the most aggressive and has the ability to spread to other parts of the body. Melanoma is a malignant tumor that is made up of abnormal melanocytes. Normal melanocytes, which reside in everybody's skin, are cells that produce a brown pigment called melanin. Melanin is the major determinant of a person's skin color and also serves as the body's own natural sunscreen. A melanoma develops when certain melanocytes are no longer able to control their own growth and continue to multiply at a fast rate. This phenomenon occurs when melanocytes undergo significant damage. Too much exposure to sunlight, especially enough to cause blistering or peeling sunburns during childhood, can result in enough cellular injury to cause a melanoma as well as other skin cancers. In addition, there are other factors that make a person more susceptible to developing a melanoma. These include:

Each year in the United States, more than 53,600 people learn they have melanoma. In some parts of the world, especially among Western countries, melanoma is becoming more common every year. In the United States, for example, the percentage of people who develop melanoma has more than doubled in the past 30 years. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has written this booklet (NIH Publication No. 02-1563) to help people with melanoma and their families and friends better understand this disease. We hope others will read it as well to learn more about melanoma. This booklet discusses risks and prevention, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care. It also has information about resources and sources of support to help patients cope with melanoma.
