“…Most of them are small, hospital‐based series, and none of them have evaluated survival. In some international series, tumors are thick at the time of diagnosis (median 2.1 to 5.0 mm), and 5‐year OS rates are low (39.0% to 76.0%) . For CM, Breslow thickness was associated with OS and RFS .…”

“…There are few population‐based cancer records in our continent, conferring a lack of accurate and reliable information to be analyzed and used for early diagnosis and preventive actions . In these countries, the AM ratio is also high and similar to other continents, lesions are deep at the time of diagnosis, and the prognosis is worse …”

“…Our observed ALM proportions (16.6% pathology report and 23.1% acral localizations) were substantially higher than those reported for Asians and Hispanic whites in the USA . Published estimates of proportions of ALM among Latin‐American or Hispanic populations vary widely, for instance 4–6% for Hispanics in the USA, 6% in the Argentinean Melanoma Registry (RAMC) (with 33% not otherwise specified, and >42% in Colombia (the latter based on data from specialized hospital‐based registries) …”

“…Therefore, we made a special effort to determine population‐based characteristics of melanoma in Colombia and identify the particularities of this disease in an admixed, Latin‐American population . Published data on melanoma in Colombia are limited to hospital‐based cohorts of 599 melanoma cases treated at the Colombian National Cancer Institute, a national reference center for cancer as well as the incidence data published in Cancer Incidence in Five Continents by four good quality population‐based cancer registries as well as the project describing the melanoma incidence and mortality for the whole of Central and South America mentioned above, and estimates of population attributable risks . In addition, a 2012 publication mentions incidence and mortality estimates from the population‐based Cali cancer registry – all population‐based studies suffering from very high proportions of unknown body site or histology.…”

“…Otro factor de riesgo ambiental a considerar es el uso de cámaras bronceadoras. De otra parte, las personas que desarrollan sus trabajos al aire libre como conductores, vendedores ambulantes, agricultores, ganaderos, deportistas y aquellas personas que se exponen al sol al bañarse en ríos o en el mar o en las piscinas (17), o que realizan caminatas prolongadas, tienen mayor probabilidad de sufrir de cáncer de piel si no toman las medidas de precaución (17).…”
