UV radiation is the main etiological agent of skin cancer. Other factors such as pollution, diet and lifestyle are also contributing factors. Our aim was to investigate the association between melanoma and exposome factors in the Spanish population with a prospective multicenter case-control study.

Article Synopsis
- Lentigo maligna (LM) is a type of melanoma in situ that usually develops on sun-damaged skin, appearing as a slow-growing patch, making it tricky to diagnose and treat.
- While LM generally has a good prognosis, it can invade the dermis and behave like invasive melanoma, making surgical removal the primary treatment option.
- New methods such as margin-controlled surgery and image-guided treatments are being explored, alongside other non-surgical options, to better manage LM/LMM and address the challenges of treating lesions in sensitive areas.
Background: Novel and highly effective drugs for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) improve patient outcomes, but their high cost strains healthcare systems. Spain's decentralized public health system, managed by 17 autonomous communities (AaCc), raises concerns about equitable access.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey (July-September 2023) was sent to Spanish Multidisciplinary Melanoma Group (GEM Group) members to assess access to new drugs.
