Comparison of the time and latitude trends of melanoma incidence in anorectal region and perianal skin with those of cutaneous malignant melanoma in Norway

Abstract

Background  Melanoma incidence is increasing in many parts of the world. The main environmental risk factor is exposure to solar radiation. However, melanomas may arise also on non-sun-exposed areas (uveal and mucosal melanomas) and little is known about a possible relationship between sun exposure and melanoma on such locations.


Objectives  We have compared the time and latitude trends of melanoma incidence in the anorectal region and perianal skin (non-sun-exposed sites) with those of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) (sun-exposed skin) to gain more information about the relationship between sun exposure and melanoma ...
