Description
The purpose of this symposium was to promote communication and to increase the level of exchange of information on melanogenesis, pigmentary
disorders and malignant melanoma.
The rapid progress in both the basic science and clinical medicine has necessitated a better understanding
of the biological significance of melanin and malignant melanoma in order to be able to cure malignant melanoma.
This book will be
of help to the readers by stimulating both further study and the promotion of more extensive understanding of melanogenesis, pigmentary
disorders and treatment of malignant melanoma. All the presented papers in this symposium have been collected and published in this book.
Contents
Due to space limitations only a number of papers have been listed. Full contents are available upon request.
