Abstract

Melanoma incidence rate in 1996 was 15.7 (11.22-18.58) new cases per 100,000 compared with 17.45 (14.31-25.18) in 2017. Despite representing <5% of all cutaneous malignancies, melanoma remains the most lethal skin cancer, yet when diagnosed at early stages, melanoma has a more favorable prognosis. The study objective was to better understand public awareness of melanoma, and evaluate if there was any change over the last 23 years. A survey was conducted from May to November 2017, including 285 participants, aged 18 years or older.
