Evolución del melanoma maligno cutáneo en los últimos 19 años en un hospital terciario de la cuenca mediterránea

The increase in incidence of melanoma in our population was due mainly to an increase in incipient cases. The proportion of melanomas larger than 4 mm remained constant, although, in absolute terms, twice as many such melanomas were detected per year. We believe that campaigns for prevention and early detection must continue, and should focus in particular on the older population.
