Abstract
The incidence of malignant melanoma varies from 3–5/100 000/year in Mediterranean countries to 12–20 in Nordic countries and is still rising. The mortality rate is 2–3/100 000/year with a lesser variation with geography and relatively stable over the last decade. However, the melanoma mortality rate in males but not in females has increased over the last 25 years. Increased ultraviolet light exposure of a genetically predisposed population seems to be at least in part responsible for an ongoing increase in incidence over recent decades.
