Abstract:
In view of the increasing incidence of melanoma, it is critical to find effective preventive approaches. Contradictory evidence has been reported with regard to the possible association of aspirin use and the risk of melanoma. We review these studies and seek to elucidate the mechanism by which aspirin may produce a chemoprotective effect against melanoma.
