Melanoma Mortality

Background: We recently reported a steady increase in the incidence and mortality of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) in Canada during 1992-2010. Objectives: The objective of this article is to examine the distribution of Canadian CMM patients at the level of provinces, cities, and forward sortation area (FSA) postal codes. Methods: Using 3 Canadian population-based registries, we conducted an in-depth examination of the incidence and mortality trends for 72 565 Canadian CMM patients over the period 1992-2010. Results: We found that among 20- to 39-year-olds, the incidence of CMM in women (7.17 per 100 000 individuals) was significantly higher than in men (4.60 per 100 000 individuals per year). Women age 80 years and older had an incidence of CMM (58.46 cases per 100 000 women per year) more than 4 times greater than the national average (12.29 cases per 100 000 population per year) and a corresponding high mortality rate (20.18 deaths per 100 000 women per year), when compared with the Canadian melanoma mortality of 2.4 deaths per 100 000 per year. In other age groups men had higher incidence and corresponding melanoma mortality rates. We also studied CMM incidence by province, city, and FSA postal codes and identified several high-incidence communities that were located near the coast/waterfronts. In addition, plotting latitude measures for cities and FSAs vs CMM incidence rate confirmed the inverse relationship between geographical latitude and incidence of melanoma in Canada (slope = –0.22 ± 0.05). Conclusions: This research may help develop sex-, age- and geographic region-specific recommendations to decrease the future burden of CMM in Canada.

Melanoma Mortality

Objective: The aim of this study is two fold. First, it describes the temporal trends of malignant melanoma mortality from 2000 to 2016 in Ecuador. Second, it analyzes the spatial clusters of high mortality rates due to malignant melanoma in the country, from 2011 to 2016. Methods: This is an ecological study; we included all death certificates of malignant melanoma from the National Institute of Statistics and Census database in Ecuador from 2000 to 2016. We calculated crude mortality rates and age-standardized mortality rates, all rates are expressed as deaths per 100,000 population. In order to assess the trend of malignant melanoma rates, we obtained average annual percent changes through Joinpoint regression analysis. Spatial scan statistics were used to identify high-risk clusters and the spatial autocorrelation was evaluated through a global Moran index. Results: In Ecuador, between 2000 and 2016, malignant melanoma caused a total of 958 deaths. Crude mortality rates increased significantly (annual percent change = 4.8%; 95% confidence interval: 2.6–7.0), the age-standardized mortality rate also increased (annual percent change: 2.9%; 95% confidence interval: 0.5–5.4). The most likely cluster included 19 cantons and the second most likely cluster included 10 cantons, located in the Highlands region. The Global Moran I index for the study period shows a positive spatial autocorrelation (0.32; p = 0.001). Conclusion: Mortality due to malignant melanoma in Ecuador significantly increased over the 17-year study period; the spatial analysis and spatial autocorrelation indicates the presence of high-risk occurrence clusters in the Highlands region of the country.
