“…14 The incidence of cutaneous melanoma found in the region of Passo Fundo-RS was 5.67 cases per 100,000 population and the mortality rate was 2.16 / 100,000. 15 The morbidity coefficients of cutaneous melanoma in Blumenau are close to those expected for European descendants (Germans and Italians) and lightskinned Caucasians living in a geographic region with high ultraviolet radiation such as southern Brazil. …”

“…15 In Blumenau superficial spreading melanoma was the most frequent (51.6%), especially in women (54.6%), whereas nodular melanoma was the most frequent in men (55.4%). Lentigo maligna melanoma appeared much more frequently in women (70.6% ) than in men (29.4%) ( Table 5).…”

“…1,3-5 In this population, melanoma incidence rate increased from 7.5 cases/100,000 inhabitants in 1973 to 21.9 cases/100,000 inhabitants in 2002. 4 Changes in sun exposure habits and people's lifestyle, with more outdoor leisure time and an increased tendency to use less clothes, are considered the main reasons for this occurrence.…”

“…[2][3][4] A média de idade foi de 51,3 anos, ratificando dados da literatura, que consagra adultos jovens como os mais susceptíveis para o melanoma. [4][5][6] Embora esses resultados sejam classicamente conhecidos, ainda não se sabe ao certo o motivo pelo qual o melanoma mostra a tendência de aumento das taxas de diagnóstico na meia-idade. De fato seria de esperar uma maior ocorrên-cia em faixas etárias mais avançadas, em virtude do efeito cumulativo da radiação solar e deterioração do sistema imune.…”

“…4 relação entre variáveis pontuais do tumor e a evolução do paciente também se mostra bastante conveniente na confecção de curvas de sobrevida; o tamanho pequeno da amostra limitaria a precisão estatística do resultado e, portanto, este não foi apresentado. A medida de maior efeito para diminuir as taxas de incidência e de mortalidade por melanoma e para aumentar a sobrevida livre de doença é a prevenção.…”
