Skin Cancer Statistics Biography
Source (google.com.pk )Mortality statistics for malignant melanoma of the skin (cutaneous) by country in the UK, age and trends over time are presented here. There are also data on geographic variation. The ICD code for malignant melanoma of the skin is ICD-10 C43.
Non-melanoma skin cancer mortality statistics are also presented here. The ICD code for non-melanoma skin cancer is ICD-10 C44.
Malignant melanoma of the skin is less common than non-melanoma skin cancer, but is the most serious type of skin cancer. Melanomas can also occur in other body organs, such as the eye, but such data are not shown here. On this page “malignant melanoma” refers to malignant melanoma of the skin only.
The latest mortality statistics available for malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer in the UK are 2011. Find out why these are the latest statistics available.
Malignant melanoma is the 18th most common cause of cancer death in the UK (2011), accounting for 1% of all deaths from cancer. Malignant melanoma is the 17th most common cause of cancer death among men in the UK (2011), accounting for 2% of all male deaths from cancer. Among women in the UK, malignant melanoma is the 18th most common cause of cancer death in the UK (2011), accounting for 1% of all female cancer deaths.1-3
In 2011, there were 2,209 deaths from malignant melanoma in the UK (Table 2.1): 1,295 (59%) in men and 914 (41%) in women, giving a male:female ratio of 14:10.1-3 The crude mortality rate shows that there are 4 malignant melanoma deaths for every 100,000 males in the UK and 3 for every 100,000 females.
The European age-standardised mortality rates (AS rates) do not differ significantly between the constituent countries of the UK
Malignant melanoma mortality rates have increased overall in the UK since the early 1970s (Figure 2.2).1-3 For males, European AS mortality rates increased by 185% between 1971-1973 and 2009-2011. The rise is smaller for women, with rates increasing by 55% between 1971-1973 and 2009-2011. From the late 1980s onwards, mortality rates have increased much more quickly in males than in females, causing a divergence of the rates between the sexes. This is in contrast to malignant melanoma incidence rates in males and females, which have converged in the last decades.
Over the last decade (between 2000-2002 and 2009-2011), the European AS mortality rates have increased by 22% in males and remained stable in females. The increase in malignant melanoma mortality rates is likely to be a reflection of the increase in incidence rates. The increase in mortality rates is much less pronounced, however, due to improvements in survival (as a result of earlier diagnosis and better treatment). The lower mortality rates in females since the mid-1980s mirror the better survival rates seen in women.
Malignant melanoma mortality rates have increased overall for most of the broad age groups in the UK since the early 1970s, except those aged 15-39 and 40-49 years (Figure 2.3).1-3 The largest increases have been in people aged 75 years and over, with European AS mortality more than quadrupling between 1971-1973 and 2009-2011. The increase in mortality rates over time in the older age groups may be explained in part by late diagnosis and figures have recently shown that people aged 65 and over are more likely to be diagnosed with malignant melanoma at a late stage compare with younger people
Worldwide cancer mortality data are collated and distributed by the World Health Organisation.7 As with the collation of incidence data, there is wide variation in the coverage of death registration systems across the world, with two-thirds of the world’s populations living in regions that are not covered by mortality statistics, as well as variation in the quality of the cause of death information itself.7 The International Agency for Research on Cancer routinely uses the available data to estimate worldwide cancer mortality.9
Malignant melanoma is the 23rd most common cause of cancer death worldwide, estimated to be responsible for more than 46,000 deaths in 2008 (around 0.6% of the total). Malignant melanoma mortality rates are highest in Australia and New Zealand and lowest in South Central Asia, with a 49-fold variation in World AS mortality rates between the regions of the world for males, and a 23-fold variation for females
