“…13 In another study in Goiania, there was also a slight predominance of men (146 men and 144 women). 14 According to INCA, the State of Santa Catarina has the highest number of melanoma cases per 100,00 inhabitants in the country, about 8 cases/100.000 inhabitants, much higher than the national average of 3 cases/100.000 inhabitants. In the three years evaluated in this study, the town of Criciuma, with a population of about 190,000 inhabitants, had much higher rates than the national and state average.…”

FUNDAMENTO: O melanoma é o tumor cutâneo com maior taxa de mortalidade, apesar de representar apenas 5% do total. Sua incidência vem aumentando em todo o mundo, principalmente, entre indivíduos de pele clara; a cidade de Criciúma, onde predomina a etnia italiana, apresenta maior susceptibilidade a esse tipo de tumor. OBJETIVO: Conhecer o perfil epidemiológico e histopatológico do melanoma cutâneo primário, na cidade de Criciúma, e compará-lo com a literatura. MÉTODOS: Realizou-se um estudo retrospectivo, descritivo e transversal dos laudos anatomopatológicos de melanoma cutâneo primário, na cidade de Criciúma, entre janeiro de 2005 e dezembro de 2007. Analisou-se a população acometida segundo o sexo e a idade, a topografia, o tipo histológico, o nível de Clark e o índice de Breslow. RESULTADOS: Encontraram-se 72 laudos, com média de idade de 51 anos. A localização mais frequente foi o tronco, nos homens (60%), e os membros inferiores nas mulheres (30,5%). O tipo histológico mais comum foi o extensivo superficial (50%). Quanto ao nível de Clark, o mais frequente foi o nível III (32,3%). A maior parte dos melanomas apresentava Breslow in situ (29,6%). CONCLUSÃO: O perfil do paciente com melanoma cutâneo, em Criciúma, apresenta características semelhantes às descritas na literatura nacional e mundial. Quanto à topografia da lesão, o estudo mostra a importância de um exame clínico mais rigoroso , especialmente, do tronco em homens e dos membros inferiores em mulheres. A incidência de casos de melanoma foi maior que a média nacional e estadual. Por outro lado, os melanomas apresentaram um predomínio de Breslow, considerados de prognóstico mais favorável

“…In order to allow comparisons between locations with different age groups and time series analysis, we standardized the coefficients by adjusting the gross rate of CM incidence to the world standard population (2010) and to the Brazilian standard population (2010 census) by age group and gender. 30 - 34…”

BackgroundThe worldwide incidence of cutaneous melanoma (CM) has been continuously increasing over the last decades. Primary and secondary prevention, with attention to risk factors and early diagnosis, remain the cornerstone for reducing the burden of cutaneous melanoma. Detailed information with respect to clinical and pathological data on cutaneous melanoma is scarce in Brazil.ObjectiveThe purpose of our study was to analyze epidemiological and pathological characteristics of primary cutaneous melanoma in Joinville, southern Brazil.MethodsObservational, cross-sectional, retrospective study in which 893 reports of primary cutaneous melanoma from the local population were analyzed in the period 2003-2014. The study was approved by the local Ethics and Research Committee.ResultsWe observed a female predominance of cutaneous melanoma (56.3%). The age standardized incidence rate of primary cutaneous melanoma for the world population in the period 2003-06 was 11.8 per 100,000 population (CI 95%, 10.3-13.4), and 17.5 (CI 95%, 15.7-19.3) in 2011-14, revealing a significant increase of 48.3% (p < 0,05). Six and a half percent of patients had multiple cutaneous melanomas (mean 2.2 years and a maximum of 10.0 years between diagnoses). We observed significant differences between the location head/neck and cutaneous melanoma in situ, lower limb with Breslow depth S III and upper limb with Breslow depth S I. The comparison of the characteristics of cutaneous melanoma in the elderly and non-elderly (< 60 years old) showed significant differences with respect to all the variables studied.Study limitationsUsing secondary data source.ConclusionJoinville has high incidence coefficients for Brazilian standards, showing an increase in the incidence of cutaneous melanoma.

Purpose: This study aims to increase the knowledge about the characteristics of cutaneous melanoma in Argentina, their association with the risk of having Breslow ≥1 mm and mortality trends for the period 2002-2017.Patients and methods: Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were done for 10.199 cases within the Argentine Melanoma Registry in the period 2002-2018. Trends in age-standardised mortality rates (ASMR) were analysed using the Join point Regression Model.Results: Cases showed lesions mainly located in males' trunk (37%) and in females' lower limbs (29%). The level of invasion was higher in males who also showed higher mortality. Cases from the North West and North East regions showed a major risk of Breslow >1 mm and harboured CM in lower limbs more frequently than in other regions. Nearly, 25% of tumours over 2 mm were in cases aged <50 years and 37.6% in patients ≥50 years. In the North West, North East and Patagonia, the frequency of cases in young people was higher than in older people. In 43% of cases, the melanoma subtype was not specified in the report. The number of superficial spreading melanomas, the most common histology, was nearly twice that of Nodular melanomas the following histology in importance (3,403 and 1,754, respectively). Melanoma mortality rates in all Argentine population increased in the elderly. Lower melanoma mortality rates were observed in the North West. In 2007-2017, ASMR decreased significantly in females (average 1.4% p/year) while it increased nonsignificantly in males (0.4% p/year).The tumours with the worst prognosis were associated with the elderly, males, nodular or acrolentiginous morphologies, residing somewhere other than Centro and Patagonia and with tumors located in the head/neck and legs. Conclusion:The geographical variations found for melanoma characteristics and their mortality in Argentina, makes it imperative that epidemiological research is continued to avoid generalisations and improve future preventive actions.
