Pregnancy‐associated melanoma epidemiology: A multicentre European study
Although pregnancy does not appear to adversely impact melanoma prognosis, PAM demonstrates some distinct clinical features that warrant further investigation given the fact that it affects a substantial proportion of women of reproductive age diagnosed with melanoma. The frequent occurrence of PAM on pre-existing nevi highlights the importance of raising public awareness and promoting dermatologic evaluation of suspicious lesions during pregnancy.
