DOI: 10.1111/bjd.18878
Abstract: Folate metabolism plays an important role in DNA methylation and nucleic acid synthesis and thus may function as a regulatory factor in cancer development. Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) have identified some single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cas.15102
Abstract: Mitosis is a prognostic factor for cutaneous melanoma (CM), but accurate mitosis detection in CM tissues is difficult. Therefore, the 8th Edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system has removed the mitotic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jdv.18589
Abstract: Inherited mutations in the CDKN2A gene are among the strongest known risk factors for cutaneous melanoma. Further, previous studies have reported inferior melanoma‐specific survival in CDKN2A mutation carriers. read more here.

DOI: 10.2340/actadv.v103.3209
Abstract: Previous studies have suggested that persistent tobacco smoking impairs survival in cutaneous melanoma, but the effects of smoking and other prognostic factors have not been described in detail. This study examined the association of smoking… read more here.

DOI: 10.2340/actadv.v103.4403
Abstract: 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… read more here.
