Abstract(s)
Melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer with a poor prognosis, due to its refractory behavior to radiation and chemotherapy. Although the diagnosis is straightforward, there are many disagreements regarding its treatment and surveillance. In order to surpass some of the limitations addressed to the treatment, preventive methods like antioxidant vitamins are nowadays a relevant field of research, as well as immunostimulation by external agents. Despite the knowledge about melanoma biology, pathogenesis and developed therapies, is important to understand the effect of vitamin A in order to suggest alternatives to conventional therapies, which are known to be ineffective against melanoma.
