Research Nurse - Melanoma research group

REF: 25-067_SS_MN

About the research group

Click or tMelanoma in childhood and adolescence is under-studied, lacking adequate preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies. The incidence of melanoma is reported to be about 1.3-1.6 per million in children under 15 years of age and 15 per million in 15-19 y.o., with increasing incidence in adolescents by 4.1% annually since 1997. Additionally, melanoma is among the most frequent solid tumors diagnosed in young adults, having in Europe an incidence of 6.6 per 100.000 and a mortality of 4 per million. Little is known about the interaction between genetic and environmental factors associated with melanoma risk in this context or in the progression from benign nevus to melanoma. Furthermore, lower sensitivity than in adults results in late diagnosis with poorer outcomes, when CAYA patients, particularly the children, could show a 90% 10-year survival rate from stage I/II disease. Thus, melanomas in children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) represent a medical challenge.ap here to enter text.
