Abstract:
Each year, several thousand New Jersey residents are diagnosed with skin cancer, the most common form of cancer. One form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma, has a high mortality rate. This report examines melanoma rates from 1979 to 1985, and suggests basic precautionary steps necessary for prevention and control of this disease.
