Mark\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eSignificant progress has been made in recent years in  understanding the origins of cutaneous maligant melanoma. Knowledge of  the relationship between solar radiation and melanoma has changed and  it  now appears that both the character and timing of exposure may be  more important than total cumulative dose in accounting for risk. The  melanoma-sunlight model may prove an instructive heuristic exercise  for environmental epidemiology, as we currently tend to restrict  ourselves to a search for uniform total dose--response relationships  between cancers and suspected environmental carcinogens. \u003cbr\u003e  The study of the relationship between acquired melanocytic nevi and  melanoma has led to useful new information about predictors of  melanoma risk, and in addition has opened new perspectives on the  development of nevi in children. Definition of the factors for nevus  development in children may lead to the possibility of primary  prevention programs for melanoma in younger generations of children.  \u003cbr\u003e  Recent new evidence suggests that certain occupational groups may be  at elevated risk of melanoma. A great deal of work is going into the  study of ways of screening high risk populations in order to detect  melanoma at its earliest stages when current treatment protocols are  most effective. The visibility of lesions on the skin challenges  classical definitions of early detection and screening in  epidemiology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461361268\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-2626-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 329\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398582104204,"sku":"9781461361268","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461361268.jpg?v=1755438179","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461361268","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
