Abstract

Introduction: Melanoma incidence and mortality in the US military and veteran population is complicated. While limited, prior results suggest that melanoma incidence is increased in air force members and mortality is increased in former prisoners of war. As the 5th most common cancer in the veteran population who receive care at the VA, melanoma incidence and survival is still poorly understood. Purpose: To compare incidence and survival for malignant melanoma in the US veterans who received care at the VA to the general population.
