| مستخلص: | Background: The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma continues to increase worldwide and in Canada. It is unclear whether the increase in incidence and clinical characteristic trends of cutaneous malignant melanoma are similar in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the incidence and trends of cutaneous malignant melanoma in Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador. Methods: Patients aged 18 years or older diagnosed with cutaneous malignant melanoma were identified from the Eastern Health Authority's Cancer Registry. The diagnosis was confirmed by a pathologist via histological subtype. Patients were excluded if the diagnosis was unspecified, a nonmelanoma skin cancer or if there was a recurrence in the same lesion location. In total 298 patients diagnosed with cutaneous malignant melanoma from 2007 to 2015 were included in the analysis. Results: The total incidence increased from 4.1 to 15.6 cases/100,000 person-years, which represents a 283.0% increase from 2007 to 2015. The largest increases in incidence were seen in males and patients aged from 60 to 79 years. The most common lesion anatomical locations were the trunk in males and the lower extremity in females. The majority of cases had a Breslow thickness below 1.0 mm. Conclusion: The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma in Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador is increasing at a faster rate than in any other region in Canada. Health care providers should work to be aware of the clinical trends and risk factors associated with this disease to facilitate early detection and prevent morbidity. (© 2021 S. Karger AG, Basel.) |
