Determinants of 25-hydroxyvitamin D Status in a Cutaneous Melanoma Population

Julie De Smedt et al.

Summary: This study aimed to confirm the well-known determinants and assess new determinants for 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in a cutaneous melanoma population. The results showed that body mass index, seasonal time of blood sampling, vitamin D supplementation, and a specific subtype of skin and hair color had a significant effect on vitamin D status.

Cutaneous Melanoma in Alpine Population: Incidence Trends and Clinicopathological Profile

Alessandra Buja et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the changing incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) in Veneto region and its Alpine area in Northeast Italy, finding a significant increase in CMM incidence over the past 30 years, particularly among Alpine residents, especially younger females. Clinicopathological profile of CMM is associated with the place of residence. These findings have important implications for CMM prevention strategies.

Role of vitamin D serum levels in prevention of primary and recurrent melanoma

M. Lombardo et al.

Summary: Patients with melanoma have lower VDSL levels compared to the healthy population, which may be linked to the risk of developing melanoma. Research showed a correlation between low VDSL and thick tumor depth and high mitotic rate in melanoma cases.

The Impact of Ultraviolet Radiation on the Aetiology and Development of Uveal Melanoma

Melissa Chalada et al.

Summary: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common form of eye cancer in adults, with a debated relationship with ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Traditional belief suggests UVR cannot penetrate ocular structures to initiate UM, yet recent studies have found UVR damage signatures in UM samples. UM incidence is associated with factors related to UVR susceptibility, similar to risk factors for cutaneous melanoma.
