Smoking and the development of metastases from malignant melanoma

Smoking and the development of metastases from malignant melanoma Investigations on 2583 malignant melanoma patients indicated that in both men and women, although there did not appear to be a causal relationship between cigarette smoking and melanoma, smoking did facilitate the spread of metastases. Significantly more ex‐smokers or smokers than life‐long non‐smokers first presented for melanoma treatment with established metastases. Also, in patients with localized disease, metastases appeared within 10 years more often in exsmokers than in life‐long non‐smokers. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Cancer Wiley

Abstract

Investigations on 2583 malignant melanoma patients indicated that in both men and women, although there did not appear to be a causal relationship between cigarette smoking and melanoma, smoking did facilitate the spread of metastases. Significantly more ex‐smokers or smokers than life‐long non‐smokers first presented for melanoma treatment with established metastases. Also, in patients with localized disease, metastases appeared within 10 years more often in exsmokers than in life‐long non‐smokers.
