Quote:Interesting question is whether the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma [while taking PLX4032] can be avoided just by rigorously avoiding the sun - or is it previous sun damage that is turned into squamous cell carcinoma?

Another question is whether the typical melanoma patient will be willing to stay out of the sun

Unlike many rather benign skin cancers, I was under the impression that melanoma can spring up anywhere, even in places with relatively little exposure to the sun. Or perhaps they are harder to spot until it's too late if they aren't on your face or arms.
