The Melanoma Divide: Hispanic Health Disparities From Peru to the United States
HPP with melanoma exhibit more aggressive pathological features than their HPUS counterparts and are diagnosed at more advanced stages, resulting in poorer OS rates across all stages, and being HPP is a prognostic factor of a worse OS. These findings emphasize the need for further research to deepen our understanding of the molecular factors influencing this diverse biological presentation in Hispanic populations.
