Product Description
Recent studies have shown that the incidence of malignant melanoma continue to increase steadily. Fortunately, through primary and secondary prevention programmes, the mortality rate from such cases has grown less rapidly compared to 20 years ago. Many countries are at the present time investing time and energy in campaigns aimed at encouraging sensible sun exposure (primary prevention) and promoting early visual identification of melanoma (secondary prevention).
