| Popis: | Mortality trends suggest that increases in Connecticut incidence for cutaneous melanoma (CM) equal or under estimate increases for the entire country. One-sixth of CM in Connecticut occurs under age 35. In the 1955 birth cohort, modeled incidence rates per 100,000 age-adjusted to the 1960 US population are 38.2 in males and 28.9 in females. These estimated rates for CM rival those for colon cancer (now the third most common malignancy in the United States) and have special implications for young adults. |
