“…Because the questionnaire used multiple response items, not solely binary responses, which varied in the number of responses which people could assign, it would not have been valid to conduct a test of internal consistency. The approach used to define the summary scores was intuitive, but grounded in the data from epidemiological meta-analyses [5,[15][16][17][18][19]. The approach appears to be supported by the results of the study.…”

Comparing Personal Risk, Melanoma Knowledge and Protective Behaviour in People With and Without Melanoma: A Postal Survey to Explore Educational Needs in Northeast Scotland

In Northeast Scotland, 132 people with melanoma and 139 people never affected by melanoma completed a questionnaire measuring risk, level of concern, protective behaviour and knowledge. In adjusted analysis, people with melanoma had significantly higher personal risk, level of concern, protective behaviour and melanoma knowledge scores than those never affected. These data suggest that people diagnosed with melanoma in Northeast Scotland are being educated about how to avoid a second primary. The results of the adjusted analysis also suggest that in Northeast Scotland, melanoma education should be targeted at older people, men and those of lower educational status. It is also likely that this questionnaire could be used in the healthy population of Northeast Scotland to detect those most likely to benefit from targeted education to help prevent melanoma, and to measure the effects of and quality of melanoma public education campaigns.

“…In Caucasians, CMM is frequent and usually occurs on sun-exposed sites (Gillgren et al, 2003). Alternatively, in people of African and South-east Asian descent, CMM is rare and usually involves the foot (Pack et al, 1963;Suseelan and Gupta, 1977;Gillgren et al, 2003). To date, the literature about melanoma is largely limited to Caucasians with few reports about the disease in Africans (Shapiro et al, 1953;Lewis, 1967a,b;el-Bolkainy and Ebeid, 1973;Haverkamp and Rodman, 1979;Bouchardy et al, 1996).…”

Although melanocytic skin lesions have been recognized since antiquity, their literature was limited to Caucasians. To date, the clinicopathologic features of these lesions in Egyptians are still unknown. To define these features, diagnostic records of the melanocytic skin lesions received at the Pathology Department, Assuit University Hospitals (1989-2004) were reviewed. The lesions examined included 12 benign naevi (BN), 10 dysplastic naevi (DN), and 21 cutaneous malignant melanomas (CMMs). The DN and CMMs were more common in men than in women (2 : 1 and 1.5 : 1, respectively) while BN were more common in women (2 : 1). The average age incidence was 33+/-5, 38+/-7 and 54+/-3 years, for BN, DN and CMM, respectively. The lower limb (13/21, 62%), head and neck (7/21, 33%) were the most common sites for CMMs. The average size (mm) was 2+/-0.3, 4+/-0.6 and 21+/-0.3 for BN, DN and CMMs, respectively. Recurrence occurred in 10% of CMMs. Histologically, CMMs were of nodular type and composed of epithelioid (7/21, 33%), spindle cells (1/21, 5%), or mixed cells (13/21, 62%). The mean tumour thickness (Breslow) was 6+/-0.5 mm. CMMs included two of 21(9%), three of 21(14%), six of 21(38%), and 10 of 21(38%) with Clark level II, III, IV and V. In Egypt, CMM is the third most common cutaneous neoplasm following squamous and basal cell carcinomas. Compared with Western societies, melanoma has a male sex predilection, similar histological features but different topographical distribution and rare incidence. The striking difference from Western series is the incidence of nodular melanoma - in the West this represents 15-30% of melanomas, with superficial spreading being the majority. Another key difference from the West is the 'sun-bed' culture of the West and the desire to have suntans. This is the first study that reports the clinicopathologic features of melanocytic skin lesions in Egypt.
