Abstract:
Malignant melanoma represents only 1.5-2.5% of malignant neoplasms in Europe. Since 1990 the clinical data of melanoma patients are registered at the clinic for dermatology university Düsseldorf. 925 patients were treated between 1990-1996 (not including in situ melanomas, extracutaneous melanomas and multiple melanomas). In 1996 the incidence was 15 cases/100,000 habitants. A worldwide doubling of the morbidity is expected every ten years especially in the caucasian population.
