Scientists from the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) have found two new genes that together double a person's risk of developing melanoma. view more (2009-07-07)
Fatty diet does not increase risk of skin cancer
Eating fatty food does not appear to increase the risk of skin cancer. A study published today in the open access journal BMC Cancer contradicts previous research that showed a link between high fat intake and certain types of skin cancer. view more (2006-05-30)

Tanning Devices - Fast Track to Skin Cancer?
An all over tan is fashionable and large numbers of people, especially young women, achieve this by using sunbeds. Professor Antony Young, of King's College London, has reviewed the evidence that links sunbed use to malignant melanoma; a skin cancer that is fatal if not detected and treated early. Malignant melanoma is a cancer of the skin's cells... view more... (2004-01-15)
Recurrent melanoma may be more common than previously thought
Approximately 8 percent of patients with melanoma skin cancer may develop an additional melanoma within two years of their initial diagnosis, and those with atypical moles appear to be at higher risk. view more (2006-04-18)
UBC researchers discover gene mutation that causes eye cancer

Study finds patients with melanoma are at increased risk for new tumors
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) researchers have found that melanoma patients with a family history of melanoma and/or dysplastic nevi (abnormal moles) are at high risk of developing multiple primary melanomas (MPM) view more (2005-10-06)
EARLY PROMISE FOR NEW TREATMENT OF SKIN CANCER (p 525)
A preliminary study published as a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that the herpes virus could contribute to the treatment of malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. Previous laboratory research has shown that a mutant herpes simplex virus (HSV1716) has improved the survival times of animals with... view more... (2001-02-14)
Does too much sun cause melanoma?
We are continuously bombarded with messages about the dangers of too much sun and the increased risk of melanoma (the less common and deadliest form of skin cancer), but are these dangers real, or is staying out of the sun causing us more harm than good? view more (2008-07-23)

Skin cancer breakthrough - Gene explains why men are at higher risk of malignant melanoma
Researchers from Germany have identified a gene that is associated with an increased risk of suffering from skin cancer. The research, published this month in Journal of Carcinogenesis, could also explain why men are more likely to suffer from malignant melanoma than women. Although most people associate melanoma with exposure to UV light, through... view more... (2003-11-26)
