Abstract

The National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database has demonstrated an increase in annual incidence of cutaneous melanoma of 619% and an increase in annual mortality of 165% from 1950 to 2000. In 2004, an estimated 55,000 Americans were newly diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma, and approximately 7,900 died from this disease. Of all cancers in the United States, cutaneous melanoma ranks fifth in incidence among men and seventh among women. It is the most common cancer in women aged 20-29 and the second leading cause of lost productive years.
