Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is a severe form of skin cancer potentially linked to low vitamin D levels, prompting a study to explore this relationship.
- A comprehensive analysis of 14 research studies indicated that vitamin D levels under 20 ng/dl correlate with a higher incidence of CM and deeper tumor penetration (Breslow depth).
- However, no strong connection was found between vitamin D levels and the spread of metastasis or overall CM incidence, suggesting that vitamin D insufficiency may impact tumor growth but not metastasis.
