FDRs are advised to perform self-skin examination (SSE) and annual medical total cutaneous examination (TCE) performed either by a dermatologist or a general practitioner, and to change their sun-related behavior. This advice is given orally to melanoma patients who are asked to relay the information to their FDRs.<h4>Objective</h4>Our aim was to determine the impact of providing a tip sheet to melanoma patients intended to their first-degree relatives (FDRs) on early detection and sun-related behaviors in this group at increased risk of melanoma.<h4>Methods</h4>A superiority, cluster-randomized trial waCancersImpact of Distribution of a Tip Sheet to Increase Early Detection and Prevention Behavior among First-Degree Relatives of Melanoma Patients: A Randomized Cluster Trial.PMC9406196INCA_8186Lesimple TCelerier PCaille ABridou MQuereux GLe Corre YDupuy ALe Vilain-Abraham FMachet LWierzbicka-Hainaut EMarce DLegoupil DMaillard HfalseImpact of Distribution of a Tip Sheet to Increase Early Detection and Prevention Behavior among First-Degree Relatives of Melanoma Patients: A Randomized Cluster Trial.<h4>Background</h4>First-degree relatives (FDRs, defined as parents, children, and siblings) of melanoma patients are at a two-to-fivefold increased risk of developing melanoma themselves.
