“…Skin carcinomas are generally less common than melanoma. 37,38 In Tunisia, skin carcinoma is exceptionally prevalent among 15-to 19-year-olds, with rates of 7.8 per million for males and 16.5 per million for females. 39 In our present series, among AYAs, the median incidence of melanoma was 3 cases per million, whereas the median incidence of skin carcinomas was 18 cases per million, and these rates increased with age.…”

The spectrum of cancers commonly found in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) differs from those in children and adults; therefore, the childhood classification is not appropriate for this population. Here we used a newly proposed classification system to reclassify cases of AYAs from Brazilian population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) in 5 geographic regions of Brazil. We aimed to describe the cancer incidence rates within this age group according to PBCR. Using the world population, incidence rates per million were analyzed in each diagnostic subgroup according to sex and age at diagnosis (15 to 19 y, 20 to 24 y, and 25 to 29 y). The median incidence rate was 232.31 per million for females and 218.07 per million for males. Incidence increased with age, with the highest rate observed for 25- to 29-year-olds in both sexes. Carcinomas, lymphomas, and skin tumors were most frequent among AYAs. High incidence rates of cervix-uterus carcinoma were observed in most PBCRs. AYAs present epidemiological characteristics that differ from those of children, reinforcing the need for a new classification. This study describes, for the first time, the cancer incidence rate in AYAs in Brazil, and we believe that our findings represent the Brazilian profile.

“…5 An additional study examining melanoma incidence in females aged 0-30 years over a 15-year period noted a 2.5% annual increase from 1992-2006. 6 This upward trend in melanoma incidence in young women is thought to be in part attributable to a relatively new source of UV radiation: indoor tanning equipment. 7 It has been proposed that this alarming rise in melanoma may be the result of improved screening and surveillance techniques, which would result in an expected increase in the number of diagnosed thinner tumors with minimal metastatic potential.…”

“…One longitudinal study among a broader age group of adolescent girls and young women in California showed melanoma rates increasing from the early 1990s 6. Another more recent study of melanoma trends in the USA from 1992 to 2006 in children, teenagers and young adults showed that melanoma incidence rose significantly among females up to 30 years 7. On the other hand, after a similar rapid rise in teenage melanoma rates in Sweden in the 1980s, the incidence rate fell by 26% in the 1990s 8…”

Cutaneous melanoma is a relatively common cancer in adolescents and young adults in Australia, but detailed information about occurrence patterns and prognosis is limited. We evaluated incidence trends from 1982 to 2010 and recent survival rates in those aged 15–24 years in the state of Queensland. In situ and invasive melanoma cases were identified from the Queensland Cancer Registry. Incidence rates were age-standardised to the 2000 World population and trends calculated using joinpoint regression. Five-year relative survival was estimated by the period method and Poisson models were used to produce adjusted mortality hazard ratios. Average annual incidence rates for the 5-year period 2006–2010 were 6.3 per 100,000 [95% confidence interval (CI) 5.4, 7.2] for in situ and 10.1 per 100,000 (95% CI 9.0, 11.3) for invasive melanoma. Since the mid-1990s, incidence rates for in situ melanomas have been stabilizing while invasive melanoma has decreased in both sexes, mainly owing to declining rates of thin tumours (≤1 mm) (−5.4% per year, 95% CI −8.3%, −2.4%). Incidence rates of melanomas >1 mm in thickness have remained relatively unchanged since 1991 however. In the period 2006–2010, relative 5-year survival of 15–24 year olds with invasive melanoma was 95.7% (95% CI 92.9%, 97.5%). The subgroup with tumours >1 mm was nearly six times more likely to die within 5 years than those with thin tumours (adjusted hazard ratio = 5.53, 95% CI 1.72, 17.80). Incidence of thin melanoma in young people in Queensland is declining, suggesting benefits of primary prevention efforts are being realised.What's new?Although some of the highest known incidence rates ofcutaneous melanoma are found in Queensland, Australia, few studies have examined incidence specifically among 15- to 24-year-olds in the state. This evaluation shows that the incidence of invasive melanoma is relatively high for the 15- to 24-year-old age group. However, incidence rates were found to have declined generally among Queensland's adolescents and young adults since the mid- to late 1990s. The decline may be a reflection of successful primary prevention efforts in young people in recent decades.
