背景：黑色素瘤发病率的上升是真实情况，还是近期的发病趋势主要反映了诊断水平的提高，这一点尚不完全清楚。为了解决这个问题，我们利用监测、流行病学和最终结果计划的数据，按社会经济地位、年龄、肿瘤分期和肿瘤厚度对白种人群中最新的黑色素瘤发病模式进行了研究。
方法：我们按5岁年龄组以及诊断年份和出生队列的时间段，对黑色素瘤的年龄别发病率进行了对数转换后检查。还在更广泛的年龄组中进一步研究了黑色素瘤的发病趋势（
Background: It is not pet clear whether increasing melanoma incidence is real or whether recent incidence trends mainly reflect improved diagnosis. To address this question, we examined the most recent melanoma incidence patterns among the white population stratified by ses, age, tumor stage, and tumor thickness by use of data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. Methods: We examined log-transformed age-specific rates for melanoma by 5-year age groups and time periods by year of diagnosis and birth cohort. Melanoma trends were further examined among broader age groups (
