Focus on early detection to reduce melanoma deaths. journal of investigative dermatology Geller, A. C., Swetter, S. M., Weinstock, M. A. 2015; 135 (4): 947-949

Abstract

Understanding this phenomenon will require a multi-pronged approach, including in-depth investigation of its behavioral and biological underpinnings. As we proceed with relevant studies, the benefits in lives saved will grow via early detection.
