Interest in the etiology of malignant melanoma has increased enor
mously in the last 10 years, after it was realized that the
incidence of the cutaneous form of the disease was rising.
Treatment of the disease has not improved dramatically, and our
best hope for curtailing the rise in mortality and morbidity from
the disease appears to be primarily through early detection and,
per haps in the future, through prevention. It is thus very
important for the medical community to be able to recognize
individuals and groups at high risk of the disease because of
either familial and con stitutional factors and lifestyle or
exposure to environmental risk factors. This book, arising from a
meeting held in Vancouver in 1984, pro vides a summary of the
latest findings amo ~ Caucasian popula tions along with
perspectives on the most im, Jrtant environmental risk factors
identified to date. Comparison of results from the four major
analytic studies presented here also demonstrates that a num ber of
factors implicated in other common cancers are probably not related
to the incidence of melanoma. These include smoking, alco hol
consumption, and for the most part, diet. The Vancouver conference
was sponsored by the Cancer Control Agency of British Columbia, and
was financially supported by Health and Welfare Canada
(6610-1429-50), the Northern Califor nia Cancer Program (NCCP),
Miles Laboratories (Canada), Bristol Myers Laboratories (Canada),
and Plough Canada Inc.
