Brief Summary: RATIONALE A study that evaluates patients lifestyle skin and blood and tissue samples may help doctors understand the risk factors for melanoma relapse

PURPOSE This clinical trial is studying the risk factors for melanoma in families with melanoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine what lifestyle factors and which genes govern relapse from melanoma

Secondary

Compare sun exposure and genes that cause melanoma in patients with melanoma vs healthy participants
Assess how unusual moles relate to sun exposure and genes that cause melanoma

OUTLINE This is a multicenter cohort study

Patients and healthy participants complete lifestyle questionnaires by mail and telephone Some patients and healthy participants undergo a skin examination to count moles and classify skin type eg degree of freckling and wrinkling indicative of sun damage

NOTE Patients diagnosed with primary invasive melanoma after September 2005 do not need to consent to a skin examination

Patients and healthy participants also undergo blood collection for lymphocyte analysis DNA extraction and the measurement of minerals vitamins and beta carotene Tissue samples from original diagnosis are examined by immunohistochemistry for gene expression and mutations including CDKN2A and CDK4

Patients and healthy participants are followed annually

Peer reviewed and funded or endorsed by Cancer Research UK

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 3700 patients and healthy participants will be accrued for this study
