Epidemiology of Malignant Melanoma

摘要: The melanomas occur at a variety of anatomical sites, different phenotypes and genotypes strongly influence their incidence, they have recognizable precursor lesions. All this Variation presents opportunities for fruitful comparisons. As result, in high risk population known factors can account perhaps half the cases (English Armstrong 1988). This is about same as proportion female breast cancer (Bruzzi et al. 1985). Yet epidemiology melanoma loaded with paradox. Generalizations, if be offered all, are hedged exceptions. New data, example finding that population, small were not associated usual host (Schneider 1987), often do fit in.
