      Little is known about if and how nevi and pigmentation are associated with melanoma-specific mortality. However, increased melanoma awareness in people with lighter pigmentation and many nevi may result in earlier diagnosis of thinner less-lethal tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between nevus count (asymmetrical > 5 mm and small symmetrical), pigmentary characteristics ...
    • No association between physical activity and primary melanoma thickness in a cohort of Norwegian women

      Knowledge about factors associated with melanoma thickness, the most important prognostic factor for localized primary melanoma survival,1 may help reduce the risk of melanoma deaths. Previously reported associations of melanoma thickness with pigmentary characteristics, number of naevi, diet quality and body mass index (BMI)2–4 may be explained by behavioural and biological mechanisms. Physical ...
