Moles and Site-Specific Risk of Nonfamilial Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma in Womene

摘要: We examined the relationship between self-reported mole counts and cutaneous melanoma with respect to anatomic site in 110 case 231 control female nurses. Counts of moles on lower leg were better predictors risk than arm. The relative for highest quintile versus no was 4.2. Mole at each (arm, thigh, leg) associated trunk leg, but none upper extremity. absence direct site-specificity suggests that primarily indicate systemic risk, rather from themselves.
