Abstract

The Third National Cancer Survey, 1969-71, reported 432 patients with noncutaneous melanoma, 79% originating in the eye. As with skin melanoma, ocular tumors were more common in whites than blacks and predominated in females at younger ages and males after middle life. On the other hand, ocular melanoma did not show the strong North-South gradient seen with skin melanoma; this suggested no relation to sunlight exposure.

摘要

1969 - 1971年的第三次全国癌症调查显示，有432例非皮肤黑色素瘤患者，其中79%起源于眼部。与皮肤黑色素瘤一样，眼部肿瘤在白人中比黑人更常见，且在年轻时以女性为主，中年后以男性为主。另一方面，眼部黑色素瘤并未表现出皮肤黑色素瘤那样明显的南北梯度差异；这表明其与阳光照射无关。
