    Abstract Purpose of review: This paper aims to critically review the potential for a chemoprevention strategy in melanoma, and to discuss new data on candidate chemoprevention agents, as chemoprevention has been suggested as an unexplored approach in melanoma.
    Recent findings: A strong scientific rationale, established long-term safety of candidate agents, and a systematic step-wise approach to chemoprevention agent development are all critical for melanoma chemoprevention research. Among potential agents, the lipid-lowering drugs, the statins, satisfy these prerequisites.
    Summary: Chemoprevention of cutaneous melanoma can become a valid strategy complementing current prevention approaches, as long as these important prerequisites are taken into consideration.

    Abstract Melanoma incidence has continued to increase in all white populations, and mortality from melanoma remains high in older men worldwide. In Australia, Europe, and the United States, a substantial number of thick melanomas in older men are of the nodular subtype, a subtype lacking asymmetry or color change. Educating the public and professionals about the significance of evolving pigmented lesions as emphasized in the revised ABCDE of pigmented lesions is relevant. Targeting screening efforts toward older men will be necessary to decrease worldwide melanoma mortality. Among prevention strategies, emphasizing multiple methods of sun protection in early childhood, adolescence, and adulthood is needed to decrease sunburn rates. Chemoprevention research in melanoma should become a research priority to complement ongoing prevention strategies.

    Abstract The Skin Cancer Foundation is the only national and international organization devoted exclusively to malignancies of the skin. It conducts public and medical education programs andprovides support for research and professional training to reduce the incidence, morbidity, and mortality of skin cancers. The following article is reprinted from The Melanoma Letter, Vol. 22, No. 3. Outstanding articles from the Foundation's award-winning publications, The Skin Cancer Foundation Journal, The Melanoma Letter, and Sun & Skin News will regularly appear here in upcoming issues. The Skin Cancer Foundation Journal, published annually, is a major part of the Foundation's professional and public education programs. Directed primarily to dermatologists, it also has an extensive readership among the general public. The Melanoma Letter, a widely respected quarterly newsletter for clinicians and researchers, focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the deadliest form of skin cancer. Sun & Skin News, a quarterly newsletter for the lay public, covers a broad range of topics related to skin health, including prevention and treatment of skin cancers and other sun-induced skin damage, the effectiveness of new sunscreen formulas, sunglasses, and the danger of tanning parlors.

    Abstract Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon malignant spindle-cell tumor usually presenting in adulthood. The epidemiology of DFSP has recently been reviewed, and there have been 152 reported cases of DFSP in patients below the age of sixteen. We present the case of a DFSP arising in a young patient with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS).
