Abstract
El melanoma maligno cutáneo, (MMC), ha experimentado un aumento considerable, a lo largo de los últimos años, a nivel mundial. España es uno de los países que sufre un periodo de continuo aumento de la incidencia de MMC. Si bien es cierto, y constatable, que las campañas de prevención y de promoción de salud, con el fin de conseguir que la población tome conciencia de la importancia de esta patología y adopte hábitos de vida saludable, han aumentado, no es menos cierto que estas medidas aún continúan siendo escasas. Dada la trascendencia del MMC, y la época del año en la que nos encontramos, he considerado importante reflejar en este trabajo los principales factores de riesgo causantes del desarrollo de MMC, tanto los modificables, como los no modificables; y las posibles medidas de prevención. Con la información recopilada, he realizado un estudio de los métodos de prevención del melanoma. Con este trabajo ha quedado subrayada la importancia de las medidas de prevención, y el papel que desempeña en la prevención las consultas de Atención Primaria, puerta de acceso al sistema sanitario.
Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM), has experienced over the years a considerable increase, worldwide. Spain is one of the countries suffering a continuous period of increasing incidence of CMM. While it is true and verifiable, that prevention campaigns and health promotion, in order to get people aware of the importance of this disease and adopt healthy lifestyles, have increased, it is no less true that these measures still remain scarce. Given the importance of the CMM, and considering the time of year we are in currently, I considered it important to reflect in this work the main risk factors causing the development of CMM, both modifiable and non-modifiable; and possible preventive measures. With the information gathered, I have put together a study of melanoma prevention methods. 3 The emphasis of this work lies in the importance of prevention and the role primary care consultations, gateway to the health care system, perform when it comes to prevention 2.
