Abstract

Melanoma is the main skin-related letal disease; incidence and mortality from melanoma are increasing worldwide. The chance of cure for this disease is directly related to early diagnosis and immediate treatment. Because of that, molecular biology studies of cutaneous melanoma to find importantmolecular markers are interesting to foresee diagnosis and to have a better prognostic assessment of individuals with this disease.
