Constitutional features of the occurrence of benign and malignant skin tumors (analysis of scientific literature)

Abstract

Annotation. The purpose of the work is to analyze the scientific literature on the constitutional features of the occurrence and course of benign and malignant skin tumors. Increasing incidence of skin tumors, in particular, melanoma of the skin requires the creation of simple and effective mechanisms to predict the occurrence of this category of diseases. Foreign authors have been actively working in recent decades to find relationships between body structure and the occurrence and course of many skin diseases, and oncological pathologies have not become an exception. The analysis of scientific literature from the scientometric databases Google Scholar, MedLine, Web of Science, Scopus for 2008–2019 (the overwhelming majority of which – over the past 5 years), has shown promise of research in this direction, and due to the lack of such domestic works, there is an urgent need to conduct research on the Ukrainian population.
