“…[6][7][8][9] The only discrepancy noted among the articles was that Lee et al 10 conducted a case control study and noted that the average age of individuals with cutaneous malignant melanoma was 48.9 years, which did not differ much from the age of the control group. Even though this is an earlier age than that observed in other articles, this does not contradict the literature, as according to Korand et al 11 cutaneous melanoma has a higher incidence in the age range of 40 to 60 years of age.…”

Results: After analyzing the titles and summaries of articles, the search strategy resulted in 83 references, of which 22 articles met the eligibility criteria. Discussion: We found that sun exposure is the main occupational risk factor for skin cancer, causing outdoor workers to be the most vulnerable to developing occupational skin cancer. Professionals with low levels of education and European descent are at increased risk of developing this cancer. Conclusion: Outdoor workers are more vulnerable to developing occupational skin cancer, estimating that professionals with low level of education and European descent are at increased risk of developing this cancer. Therefore, companies need to invest more in the health of workers by providing protective equipment and thus preventing occupational skin cancer.

“…1-5,7-19 Epidemiological data on the prevalence and clinical features of melanoma nevertheless are in short supply in the northeast of the country. Considering the size of our country and the ethnic characteristics of the Brazilian population, these types of studies are important for better understanding the characteristics and behavior of this disease.…”

BACKGROUND While representing only 3-4% of malignant skin tumors, cutaneous melanoma is the most aggressive and lethal. Statistical knowledge about the biological behavior of this tumor is essential for guiding daily outpatient practice and aiding public health policies. OBJECTIVES To analyze the profile of patients with cutaneous melanoma attending a pathology department in Teresina (state of Piauí) between 2000 and 2010. METHODS Retrospective study of melanoma patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2010 in the São Marcos Hospital in the city of Teresina. The pathology laboratory reports were studied and all the statistical analyses performed using SPSS 19.0. RESULTS A total of 25 in situ, 199 invasive and 89 metastatic melanomas of unknown primary site were observed. Histological types found were nodular (52.8%), superficial spreading melanoma (18.6%), acral (10.6%) and lentigo maligna (9.5%). In 144 (73.4%) cases the Breslow thickness was >1 mm. Metastasis was found in 28.6% of invasive melanomas and nodular melanoma, Clark IV/ V, Breslow > 1 mm, mitotic index ≥ 6 and ulcerated lesions were more likely to metastasize. CONCLUSION Most melanomas presented Breslow> 1mm. The main factors associated with metastasis were nodular type, Clark IV / V, Breslow> 1mm, mitotic index ≥ 6 and ulcerated lesions.

RESUMOIntrodução: O melanoma cutâneo (MC) é a terceira neoplasia mais frequente na pele, entretanto é a de pior prognóstico. Mesmo sendo pouco prevalente, representa uma séria ameaça de saúde pública em virtude de ocasionar altas taxas de morbimortalidade. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo é realizar uma triagem nos prontuários de pacientes diagnosticados com MC durante cinco anos em um serviço especializado em câncer de pele da cidade de Curitiba/PR, a fim de conhecer as características desta neoplasia nessa população. Métodos: Realizou-se uma análise restrospectiva através da verificação de prontuários de pacientes com MC, diagnosticados no período compreendido entre janeiro de 2007 e dezembro de 2011, em um serviço especializado em câncer de pele da cidade de Curitiba/PR. Resultados: A amostra consistiu em 23 casos de MC de sítio primário, sendo lentigo maligno (43,4%), extensivo superficial (26%), nodular (17,6%) e não especificado (13%). Dentre estes 3 com Breslow ≥4mm, todos em pacientes do sexo masculino. Em contrapartida, em 43,4% dos pacientes não foi possível aplicar o índice de Breslow, em virtude do lentigo maligno melanoma caracterizar-se por ser in situ. Identificou-se homens com diagnóstico mais tardio em relação às mulheres, já que 80% deles possuíam um Breslow >1mm. Conclusão: Sugere-se maior divulgação dos cuidados com a exposição solar e melhor formação para que o médico clínico geral seja um identificador de MC o mais precocemente possível, podendo, assim, encaminhar o paciente para uma abordagem com maior possibilidade de cura.Palavras-Chave: Epidemiologia; Diagnóstico; Melanoma.ABSTRACT Introduction: The cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the third most common skin cancer, however, has the worst prognosis. Even being little prevalent, is a serious worring due to high morbidity and mortality rates. Objective: To perform a screening in the medical records of MC diagnoses for five years in a skin cancer specialized center in Curitiba / PR, with the view to know the characteristics of this cancer in this population. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed by checking records of patients with MC, diagnosed in the period between January 2007 and December 2011, in a skin cancer specialized center in Curitiba / PR. Results: 23 patients were selected, and lentigo malign (43.4%), superficial spreading (26%), nodular (17.6%) and unspecified (13%). Among these 3 with Breslow ≥4mm, all in male patients. However, in 43.4% of patients was not possible to apply the Breslow thickness, due to lentigo malign melanoma characterized by being in situ. Men were diagnosed later in relation to women, since 80% of them had a Breslow> 1mm. Conclusion: It is suggested wider disclosure of sun protection and better training for the primary care physician, and thus can route the patient to an approach with greater chances of cure.
