MPM patients are good candidates for CDKN2A mutational screening. These patients and some of their siblings should be included in a program of specific follow-up with total body photography and digital dermoscopy, which will result in the early detection of melanoma in this subset of high-risk patients and improve phenotypic characterization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
