In sum, it is highly likely that a concerted effort to identify thin malignant melanomas when they are curable is an achievable goal in the United States. The combination of alerting the public to factors thought to be responsible for the induction of malignant melanomas (such as sunlight), of identifying precursor or marker lesions of malignant melanoma (such as dysplastic and congenital nevocytic nevi), and of teaching the medical profession and public alike how to recognize thin melanomas (so that they may be treated promptly and, thus, cured) would predictably reverse the current unacceptable trend of increased incidence and death rates of malignant melanoma.
总之，在美国，当恶性黑色素瘤可治愈时，齐心协力识别出这些早期恶性黑色素瘤极有可能成为一个可实现的目标。向公众宣传那些被认为会诱发恶性黑色素瘤的因素（如阳光），识别恶性黑色素瘤的前驱或标记性病变（如发育异常痣和先天性痣细胞痣），并教导医学界人士和公众如何识别早期黑色素瘤（以便能够及时治疗并治愈），这些措施有望扭转当前恶性黑色素瘤发病率和死亡率上升这一不可接受的趋势。
