Trends in mortality from cutaneous malignant melanoma in Spain (1982–2016): sex‐specific age‐cohort‐period effects

Abstract: Background Mortality from malignant cutaneous melanoma increased alarmingly during the second half of the 20th century in Spain and other European countries. Objective The aim was to analyse sex‐ and age‐specific trends in melanoma mortality in Spain in the period 1982–2016. Methods European age‐standardized melanoma mortality rates during the period 1982–2016 were calculated from mortality figures provided by the National Statistics Institute. Joinpoint regressions were used to identify significant points of … Show more

“…Also, a growing trend of mortality in males and a similar behaviour in females was described in Brazil for the years 2000-2014 but the magnitude of such changes was not statistically significant [35]. A different situation was described in Spain, since the mid-90s, where rates have almost levelled off in males and have started to decrease in females and younger age groups, results that could be partially explained by the improvements in diagnosis and treatments in recent decades [46].…”

“…Two recent mortality studies from Spain have yielded further supporting data. 38,39 In addition, our findings provide the confirmation of the spatialtemporal pattern of change in the incidence of CMM in Europe. The incidence increase has diffused from the north to the south in an almost regular manner.…”

“…Since many years, the clinical guideline was based on ABCD (asymmetry in shape, border irregularity, colour variegation and diameter greater than 6 mm) rule to distinguish melanoma from innocuous moles and, unquestionably, this has contributed to a dramatic improvement in the primitive determination of melanoma. 5 When melanoma is comparatively large in size (i.e. Diameter(D) .…”
