“…Similar results were obtained in a study carried out in Holland: people of high socioeconomic status had higher incidence rates of cutaneous melanoma (Van der Aa et al, 2011). Moreover, melanoma incidence traditionally rises with age (Pruthi et al, 2009;Youl et al, 2012). Some researchers observed the increase of melanoma incidence in men only over 65, though in women of all ages or in elders of both sexes (Fuglede et al, 2011).…”

Russian rates for melanoma incidence and mortality are relatively low as compared to some other white populations but the tumor is of increasing importance. In this paper, data are based on a retrospective descriptive analysis of melanoma epidemiology and clinicopathological characteristics in Krasnoyarsk Territory belonging to the Siberian Federal District of the Russian Federation. The age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates for the period 1996-2009 were determined with subsequent retrospective analysis of clinicopathological data of 103 primary melanoma cases. Our results showed that incidence and mortality rates in the region under consideration match the Russian national trends and correspond to epidemiological data of the countries of Eastern Europe. Stratification of melanoma cases by age, sex, clinicopathological state and localization revealed a prevalence of lesions on the trunk and lower extremities. Most melanomas diagnosed were of superficial spreading type and the third Clark's level of tumor invasion and stage II according to AJCC. In spite of comparatively low rates of incidence and mortality the trend to increase of melanoma cases in the region under consideration obviously calls for more attention and further investigation.

FUNDAMENTOS: A incidência do melanoma e a mortalidade pela doença aumentaram nos últimos 30 anos na população caucasiana. No Brasil, dados em municípios não-capitais são escassos, necessitando de estudos epidemiológicos. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a incidência e classificar melanomas cutâneos em Blumenau de 1980 a 2009. MÉTODO: Foram coletadas informações de 1.002 exames histopatológicos de indivíduos de Blumenau, considerando sexo, idade, localização primária, tipo histológico, nível de invasão (Clark) e espessura tumoral (Breslow). Os coeficientes de incidência anuais brutos e ajustados foram calculados utilizandose o número de melanomas e a população estimada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística entre 1980 e 2009. RESULTADOS: As taxas de incidência do melanoma atingiram 22,4 casos/100.000 habitantes/ano, 31,5 nas mulheres e 30,4 nos homens na taxa ajustada. As taxas de incidência padronizadas por década, faixa etária e sexo atingiram 141 casos em homens e 103 no sexo feminino por 100.000 habitantes/ano entre 65 a 69 anos. O melanoma disseminativo superficial aconteceu em 53% dos casos, seguido do melanoma nodular com 37%, e a principal localização foi no tronco (47%). Os diagnósticos precoces atingiram 62,5% com Breslow < 1 mm. CONCLUSÃO: A incidência do melanoma maligno aumentou em cinco vezes entre 1980 e 2009 e o diagnóstico precoce aumentou 151% como resultado da prevenção primária.

“…The population studied appears to be similar to those captured in other melanoma registries (for example, overall melanoma incidence trends for sex, age, and disease sites) [35][36][37][38][39][40][41] . Mean age was 58.7 years, and the cohort consisted predominantly of men (60% vs. 40%).…”
