摘要
目的:分析犹他州黑色素瘤的诊断趋势,研究农村因素的影响。患者和方法:使用监测、流行病学和最终结果数据(2005-2013年)计算全州黑色素瘤发病率。在综合医疗保健系统中接受治疗的5199名患者的子集进一步按城市或农村居民分层。结果:随着时间的推移,早期肿瘤占黑色素瘤发病率增加的大部分。农村县的年龄调整黑色素瘤发病率更高(46.7 vs 39.4)。农村和城市患者解剖部位和分期无差异。农村患者更常由当地初级保健提供者诊断。结论:农村因素对黑色素瘤诊断的专业和诊断提供者的位置有影响。
Aim: To analyze trends in Utah melanoma diagnosis and study the impact of rurality.
Patients & methods: State-wide melanoma incidence was calculated using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data (2005-2013). A subset of 5199 patients treated in an integrated healthcare system was further stratified for urban or rural residence.
Results: Early-stage tumors accounted for most of the increase in melanoma incidence over time. Age-adjusted melanoma incidence rate was higher in rural counties (46.7 vs 39.4). Anatomic site and stage did not differ between rural and urban patients. Rural patients were more commonly diagnosed by a local primary care provider.
Conclusion: Rurality had an impact on melanoma diagnosis in the specialty and location of the diagnosing provider.
期刊介绍:
Skin cancer is on the rise. According to the World Health Organization, 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year. While early-stage melanoma is usually relatively easy to treat, once disease spreads prognosis worsens considerably. Therefore, research into combating advanced-stage melanoma is a high priority. New and emerging therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, B-RAF and KIT inhibitors, antiangiogenic agents and novel chemotherapy approaches hold promise for prolonging survival, but the search for a cure is ongoing. Melanoma Management publishes high-quality peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of melanoma, from prevention to diagnosis and from treatment of early-stage disease to late-stage melanoma and metastasis. The journal presents the latest research findings in melanoma research and treatment, together with authoritative reviews, cutting-edge editorials and perspectives that highlight hot topics and controversy in the field. Independent drug evaluations assess newly approved medications and their role in clinical practice. Key topics covered include: Risk factors, prevention and sun safety education Diagnosis, staging and grading Surgical excision of melanoma lesions Sentinel lymph node biopsy Biological therapies, including immunotherapy and vaccination Novel chemotherapy options Treatment of metastasis Prevention of recurrence Patient care and quality of life.
