Head and neck melanoma incidence trends in the pediatric, adolescent, and young adult population of the United States and Canada, 1995-2014

JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Dec 07, 2019

Bray HN, Simpson MC, Zahirsha ZS, et al. - Among pediatric, adolescent, and young adult population in North America, researchers evaluated 20-year demographic and incidence changes correlated with head and neck melanoma. They used log-linear regression to estimate the annual percentage change in age-adjusted incidence rates of head and neck melanoma. The authors discovered that head and neck melanoma raised by 51.1% from 1995 to 2014 in both countries combined in this population-based, North American Association of Central Cancer Registries study of 12,462 cases in the US and Canada. This growing occurrence in the US was primarily related to white males aged between 15 and 39 years. The apparent increasing incidence of melanoma of head and neck among North America's pediatric, adolescent, and young adult population warrants increased awareness and education of public health, especially among males.
