Patients at Risk for Melanoma
Oral N-acetylcysteine for Protection of Human Nevi Against UV-induced Oxidative Stress/Damage in Vivo
This is a phase II intervention to propose a new melanoma chemoprevention agent. The investigators believe oxidative stress/damage in nevi is a probable indication for melanoma risk, and propose that reduced melanoma risk in…
