Abstract: The occurrence of cutaneous malignant melanoma in Brazil is analysed on the basis of available mortality data from the National Ministry of Health and from the incidence data of six Population-based Cancer Registries (Recife, Fortaleza, S. Paulo, Porto Alegre, Goiânia e Belém). The incidence in these State capitals has an intermediate pattern if compared to the world pictures. For Porto Alegre, the capital that had the highest rates, a comparison between the periods 1979-1982 and 1987 showed a proportional inc… Show more

“…From an epidemiological perspective, we noticed that this pathology affected men and women equally often and at similar mean ages, corroborating the data found in the international and national literature 4,22,23,34. Reports of differences between genders in the incidence of cutaneous melanoma appear to be related to each country’s culture, in terms of which part of the body is exposed to the sun more often and by whom (Jordan) 35…”

“…The Breslow index constituted a predictive variable of disease evolution, as no patient with a < 1 mm-thick tumor progressed to disease dissemination, while patients with ≥ 1 mm-thick tumors had dissemination, particularly those with > 4 mm-thick tumors, confirming the reports of other publications 4,9,15…”

“…Their interrelationship can make it difficult to evaluate their individual contributions to CM risk, and either can be a confounding factor [18].Hair and eye color and the presence of ephelides cannot be in a direct causal relationship with CM [3,18].People with lighter skin predominate in western Santa Catarina because of a high concentration of descendants of Western and Central European immigrants and low levels of miscegenation [22][23][24][25]. This phenotypic homogeneity (predominance of photo types I and II) for the population might explain the non significance of the findings.…”

“…Por esta razão, a incidência de doenças relacionadas à exposição à R-UV é muito maior em indivíduos de pele branca, cabelos e olhos claros do que em mulatos e negros (Diffey apud Corrêa, 2003). Silva Mendonça, (1992), não há duvida de que os indivíduos de origem européia que vivem em clima tropical ou temperado apresentam um risco elevado de desenvolver câncer cutâneo. Grande parte dos imigrantes europeus que se estabeleceram no Brasil e seus descendentes se dedicaram ao trabalho rural.…”
