Trends in incidence of and mortality and survival from malignant melanoma in Sweden for 1960 through 1982 were analyzed. Incidence rates increased annually by 5.4% for females and by 5.8% for males, whereas mortality rates increased annually by 2.7% for females and 3.3% for males. For females, the 5-year relative survival (RS) rates increased by approximately 15 percentage points before 1970. In contrast, males before 1970 had a successive improvement in RS rates of 4.6-8.2 percentage points for each 5-year period of diagnosis. Multivariate analyses revealed that during the study period the malignant melanoma-specific hazard decreased by 71% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 59%-79%] for females and by 64% (95% CI = 54%-73%) for males during the first 5 years of follow-up.
分析了1960年至1982年瑞典恶性黑色素瘤的发病率、死亡率及生存率趋势。女性发病率每年增长5.4%,男性每年增长5.8%,而女性死亡率每年增长2.7%,男性每年增长3.3%。对于女性,1970年前5年相对生存率(RS)提高了约15个百分点。相比之下,1970年前男性在每5年诊断期内RS率连续提高4.6 - 8.2个百分点。多变量分析显示,在研究期间,随访的前5年女性恶性黑色素瘤特异性风险降低了71%[95%置信区间(CI)= 59% - 79%],男性降低了64%(95% CI = 54% - 73%)。
