The results of two 5-year studies, for 1974-78 and 1984-88, of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) in Northern Ireland show changes in the presentation of the disease. Although there is some evidence of earlier diagnosis, the rise in incidence has produced an overall increase in the number of cases with advanced disease.
两项针对1974 - 1978年和1984 - 1988年北爱尔兰皮肤恶性黑色素瘤(CMM)的5年研究结果显示了该疾病临床表现的变化。尽管有一些早期诊断的证据,但发病率的上升导致晚期疾病病例总数有所增加。
