在过去的几十年里，黑色素瘤的发病率有所增加。尽管病例死亡率有所提高，但由于发病率大幅增加，黑色素瘤的总体死亡人数有所增加。尽管我们对黑色素瘤的发病机制有了更好的了解并提高了早期诊断能力，但疾病负担和社会成本仍然很高。本文提供了全球皮肤黑色素瘤流行病学的最新信息以及包括遗传性和可改变风险在内的常见风险因素，强调了教育、早期发现和预防在减轻疾病负担方面的重要性。
The incidence of melanoma has increased over the past several decades. Despite improved case mortality, overall deaths from melanoma have increased because of the large increase in incidence. Although we have a better understanding of the pathogenesis of melanoma and improved early diagnostic capabilities, the burden of disease and societal costs remain high. This article provides an update on the epidemiology of cutaneous melanoma worldwide and the common risk factors including heritable and modifiable risks, emphasizing the importance of education, early detection, and prevention in reducing the disease burden.
