Objectives Melanoma can be prevented through reducing sun exposure and detected early
by increasing examination of skin for lesions. First-degree relatives of melanoma cases have …

Purpose Melanoma is the most severe form of skin cancer, and survivors of melanoma carry
increased risk of additional melanoma diagnosis. Multiple methods exist for primary and …

Preventing melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, is an important cancer control
priority. This is especially true among children living in families previously affected by the …

Background. Little is known about acceptance of skin cancer risk-reduction practices and
attitudes among individuals with a family history of melanoma. The purpose of this study was …

Background Despite the increased level of familial risk, research indicates that family
members of patients with melanoma engage in relatively low levels of sun protection and …

BACKGROUND. Identifying high‐risk individuals for melanoma education and risk reduction
may be a viable strategy to curb the incidence of melanoma, which has risen precipitously in …

First-degree relatives (FDRs) of melanoma survivors are at heightened risk for developing
melanoma, but use sun protection inconsistently. To develop appropriate interventions, in …

Background First-degree relatives of individuals diagnosed with melanoma are at increased
disease risk. However, many first-degree relatives do not receive a periodic total cutaneous …

Young melanoma survivors and their family are at increased risk for developing melanoma,
but seldom engage in sun protection behaviors. Little is known about the role of family …

Background. First-degree relatives (FDRs) of melanoma patients are at increased
melanoma risk and thus represent an important target for prevention education. Family skin …
