“…This suggests the geographic gradient may play a role in relative risks in East Asia. This result was consistent with studies in other regions e.g., the Europe (Crocetti et al, 2015). UV is considered one of the main environmental risk factor to developing CM, therefore, sun protection is as an effective way to reduce the risk of damaging skin (Guy et al, 2015).…”

“…This study demonstrates there was more risk for mortality in men, older aged individuals (60+), and populations with high UV indexes in four East Asian regions. In order to reduce the incidence and mortality of CM, for the public, it is suggested to: (1) reduce UV radiation exposure; (2) increase sun protection; (3) avoid prevalent sunbed use (Wallingford et al, 2013); (4) increase public awareness/education (Buster et al, 2012; Gohara, 2015); and (5) adopt screening and early diagnosis practices (Boniol, Autier & Gandini, 2015; Crocetti et al, 2015; Tryggvadottir et al, 2010). …”

Trends in mortality rates of cutaneous melanoma in East Asian populations

The incidence of cutaneous melanoma (CM) has rapidly increased over the past four decades. CM is often overlooked in East Asian populations due to its low incidence, despite East Asia making up 22% of the world’s population. Since the 1990s, Caucasian populations have seen a plateau in CM mortality rates; however, there is little data investigating the mortality rates of CM in East Asian populations. In this study, the World Health Organization Mortality Database with the joinpoint regression method, and a generalized additive model were used to investigate trends in age standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) of CM in four East Asia regions (Japan, Republic of Korea (Korea), China: Hong Kong (Hong Kong), and Singapore) over the past six decades. In addition, mortality rate ratios by different variables (i.e., sex, age group, and region) were analyzed. Our results showed ASMRs of CM in East Asia significantly increased non-linearly over the past six decades. The joinpoint regression method indicated women had greater annual percentage changes than men in Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong. Men had significantly greater mortality rate ratio (1.51, 95% CI [1.48–1.54]) than women. Mortality rate ratios in 30−59 and 60+ years were significant greater than in the 0−29 years. Compared to Hong Kong, mortality rate ratio was 0.72 (95% CI [0.70–0.74]) times, 0.73 (95% CI [0.70–0.75]) times, and 1.02 (95% CI [1.00–1.05]) times greater in Japan, Korea, and Singapore, respectively. Although there is limited research investigating CM mortality rates in East Asia, results from the present study indicate that there is a significant growth in the ASMRs of CM in East Asian populations, highlighting a need to raise awareness of CM in the general population.

“…In a recent study Crocetti et al showed that data on the 5-year relative survival after a CMM diagnosis is quite similar for Northern Europe (88%), Central Europe (88%) and Ireland and UK (86%) (23). The CMM incidence is also quite similar between these regions (24).…”
