“…Stratification of 103 patients with invasive melanoma in this study by staging and Clark invasion level showed that the major part of patients were diagnosed on (Azarjana et al, 2012), 2.7 in men and 3.5 in females in Belarus, 4.4 in men and 4.6 in females in Poland (Curado et al, 2007). Being in agreement with a recent research, this observation showed melanoma incidence rates to vary considerably within European countries with the highest rates in Switzerland (19.2/100.000) (Forsea et al, 2012). With regard to genders, the melanoma incidence rates were identical for the analyzed period.…”

Russian rates for melanoma incidence and mortality are relatively low as compared to some other white populations but the tumor is of increasing importance. In this paper, data are based on a retrospective descriptive analysis of melanoma epidemiology and clinicopathological characteristics in Krasnoyarsk Territory belonging to the Siberian Federal District of the Russian Federation. The age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates for the period 1996-2009 were determined with subsequent retrospective analysis of clinicopathological data of 103 primary melanoma cases. Our results showed that incidence and mortality rates in the region under consideration match the Russian national trends and correspond to epidemiological data of the countries of Eastern Europe. Stratification of melanoma cases by age, sex, clinicopathological state and localization revealed a prevalence of lesions on the trunk and lower extremities. Most melanomas diagnosed were of superficial spreading type and the third Clark's level of tumor invasion and stage II according to AJCC. In spite of comparatively low rates of incidence and mortality the trend to increase of melanoma cases in the region under consideration obviously calls for more attention and further investigation.

“…A tanulmány alapján a kelet-közép-európai országokban Észak-és Nyugat-Európához képest az alacsonyabb incidenciához hátrányosabb stádium szerinti megoszlás és magasabb mortalitás társul. Az Egyesült Államokban, Ausztráliában, Nyugat-Európában tapasztalt kedvezőbb megoszlásnak számos oka lehet, amelyek közül Forsea és munkatársai kiemelik a betegek felvilágosításában, az egészségügyi oktatásban, az országos rákregiszterekben, a rizikófaktorokban, az orvosi ellátásban fennálló különbségeket [20].…”

Bevezetés: A malignus melanoma túlélése elsősorban a TNM-stádium függvénye, azonban a Nemzeti Rákregiszter a daganatokat stádiumok alapján nem részletezi. Célkitűzés: A szerzők a Semmelweis Egyetem, Bőr-, Nemikórtani és Bőronkológiai Klinikán melanomával kezelt betegek stádiumfelmérését tűzték ki célul. Módszer: A vizsgálat 2004-2009 között diagnosztizált 1160 cutan melanomás betegre (558 férfi és 602 nő, átlagéletkoruk 60,5±16, illetve 57±17 év) terjedt ki. Eredmények: Nagy esetszámú nemzetközi vizsgálatokkal összehasonlítva az IA és IV-es stádium-ban a klinika betegeinek aránya kedvezőnek bizonyult, azaz viszonylag magas százalékban fordultak elő a korai melanomák (IA: 34,8%), alacsony volt a késői, IV-es stádiumú daganatok előfordulása (0,4%). Az IB-IIA stádiumban már szignifi kánsan alacsonyabb, a későbbi stádiumok (IIC, IIIA, IIIB) esetében magasabb volt a betegek aránya a nyugat-európai, ausztráliai, egyesült államokbeli adatoknál. Következtetések: A vizsgálat felhívja a fi gyelmet arra, hogy a korai diagnózis javítása, a nyugati országokhoz való felzárkózás érdekében további lépések, primer és szekunder prevenciós programok szükségesek.

“…Reported incidence is highest in Switzerland (25/100,000 per year), Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands, and lowest in Central Eastern European (CEE) countries including Albania, Greece and Romania (below 4/100,000 per year). While the highest mortality rate was in Norway, and the lowest in Greece, CEE countries have the largest share of deaths (35.5%) of the 4 European regions (Forsea et al, 2012). A paper that calculated mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) for European countries for melanoma as a proxy for the fatality rate showed it ranges between 0.09 in Switzerland and 0.44 in Latvia.…”

Melanoma incidence and mortality in Europe: new estimates, persistent disparities

Abstract: The most recent estimates of melanoma incidence and mortality in Europe reveal sharp differences between European countries, possibly related to missed opportunities for early diagnosis and incomplete reporting of melanoma in Eastern Europe.
