Skin melanoma: Epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, prevention

Melanoma--Part 1: epidemiology, risk factors, and prevention.

The incidence of melanoma has risen over the past 30 years in most white populations. 2 However, in some parts of the world incidence rates are stable or falling. Although large scale primary prevention programmes such as public health education campaigns aimed at reducing exposure to sun may lead to reduced incidence, such programmes have not yet been proved effective. However, melanoma is hig...

Melanoma Epidemiology and Prevention.

The epidemiology of melanoma is complex, and individual risk depends on sun exposure, host factors, and genetic factors, and in their interactions as well. Sun exposure can be classified as intermittent, chronic, or cumulative (overall) exposure, and each appears to have a different effect on type of melanoma. Other environmental factors, such as chemical exposures-either through occupation, at...
