Given the increased prevalence of uveal melanoma in patients with AMS, some authors recommend routine annual assessment by an ophthalmologist.53,54 Ultraviolet light is known to be nevogenic and appears to contribute to the emergence of dysplastic nevi.3,55 Furthermore, UV radiation acts as an initiator and promoter in the process of malignant transformation of melanocytes.3 It was demonstrated that patients with hereditary AMS have reduced abilities to repair DNA damage induced by ultraviolet light.56,57 Therefore, the patient should avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial ultraviolet light (such as tanning beds) and use physical protection in the prevention of sunburn.3,18 Although it has not been documented that the use of sunscreen prevents the emergence of dysplastic nevi or decreases the risk of developing melanoma, it has been shown that a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor of at least 15 reduces the incidence of actinic keratoses and decreases the development of melanocytic nevi.3,18 The patient must be advised not to use sunscreen in order to prolong exposure, which may in fact increase the risk of developing melanoma.3,19 Prospective studies show that the risk of melanoma in families of patients with AMS is considerable.32 In addition, many patients initially considered as having sporadic AMS actually belong to families with AMS.3 Therefore, it is recommended that first-degree relatives of AMS patients be examined by a dermatologist for the presence of dysplastic nevi, AMS or melanoma

FAMM syndrome associations: Increased risk of melanoma, pancreatic cancer, and astrocytomas Greater likelihood of developing melanoma in normal skin (ie, de novo ) than in association with atypical naevi Melanoma presentation at a younger age
The control diet consisted solely of dry fish food, while the HF diet was prepared by mixing dry fish food with lard, making up 20% of the daily portion
Contrairement au PT-141 (Bremelanotide, Vyleesi FDA 2019), derive lui aussi de la meme chimie melanocortine mais volontairement selectif MC3R/MC4R centraux pour eviter la pigmentation, le Melanotan-2 est volontairement non selectif et active l'ensemble des recepteurs melanocortines MC1R, MC3R, MC4R et MC5R
