09-9: Detailed Reporting of Melanoma Incident Cases to Enhance Descriptive Epidem

本研究旨在完成历史和当前黑色素瘤事件病例的缺失数据，所选数据项对于适当评价黑色素瘤的癌症控制工作至关重要，包括评估黑色素瘤病因（因此，初级预防工作）;有针对性的筛查活动，并评估筛查的成功/失败（基于诊断时的肿瘤厚度）;和生存分析，包括与洛杉矶残留肿瘤储存库相关的那些，其评估肿瘤生物标志物和黑色素瘤预后之间的关联，直接转化为临床环境。 黑色素瘤是美国大多数白色人群中的前5种癌症之一，并且在许多非白色人群中正在增加。基于人群的癌症登记处应该有所需的信息，以大大加强和指导所有这些癌症控制领域，但目前黑色素瘤事件数据的质量和完整性不足以适当地解决上述所有三种癌症控制工作的黑色素瘤负担。这项相对简单的研究可以快速经济地完成，并立即为黑色素瘤的癌症控制工作增加关键知识，并直接受益于SEER的废弃物储存库的存在，

This study aims to complete missing data for historical and current melanoma incident cases ¿ the data items selected are critical for the appropriate evaluation of cancer control efforts for melanoma, including assessment of melanoma etiology (and therefore, primary prevention efforts); targeting screening activities, and assessing the success/failure of screening over time (based on tumor thickness at diagnosis); and survival analyses, including those linked to the Los Angeles Residual Tumor Repository that assess the association between tumor biomarkers and melanoma prognosis, translated directly into the clinical setting. Melanoma is among the top 5 cancers in most white populations in the US, and is increasing in many non-white populations. Population-based cancer registries should have the information required to greatly enhance and guide all of these cancer control areas, but currently the quality and completeness of melanoma incident data are insufficient to properly address the melanoma burden for all three cancer control efforts noted above. This relatively straightforward study can be quickly and economically accomplished, and immediately add critical knowledge to cancer control efforts in melanoma, and benefits directly from the existence of SEER¿s Discard Repositories for
