Skin Cancer

6.5K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Clinical Informatics

Background:

  • The Danish Melanoma Database (DMD) was established to monitor and improve outcomes for melanoma patients.
  • It functions as both a research database and a clinical quality register.

Approach:

  • Registration of all Danish patients with cutaneous melanoma and in situ melanomas.
  • Collection of comprehensive data including demographics, tumor characteristics (Breslow thickness, ulceration, mitoses, TNM stage), surgical details, and follow-up information.
  • Manual data entry is currently employed, with planned integration of existing registries.

Key Points:

  • In 2014, 2,525 invasive and 780 in situ melanoma cases were registered.
  • The database achieves 93% coverage compared to the Danish Pathology Register.
  • High adherence to guidelines ensures consistent performance across Danish regions.

Conclusions:

  • The DMD provides unique, detailed information on tumor characteristics, surgical treatment, and follow-up for Danish melanoma patients.
  • Ongoing expansion to include more clinical parameters will enhance patient treatment and research.
  • Annual quality reports are issued, and the database supports significant scientific studies.
