The aim of the work reported in the present thesis was to investigate malignant melanoma in children and adolescents. Through epidemiological studies, we wished to investigate incidence, clinical factors and prognosis and to study the records. Also studied were etiological factors such as phototherapy in newborns and the effect of congenital nevi on the risk of malignant melanoma. Finally a genetic study of this age group was conducted using immunohistochemical analysis. The bases for the studies were the Swedish Cancer Register, the Swedish Medical Birth Register and other related registers. The incidence of malignant melanoma in children was constant, but in adolescents a doubling was seen for the past few decades. The most common ...
