Abstract:
What's New? It's no surprise that white Australians get more skin cancer than their cousins in England, because the sun is far stronger in Australia. This study examined melanoma rates among young people in Australia and England. Among children under 10, incidence was low in both countries. Beyond age 10, though, Australians develop the disease in greater numbers. However, over the past decade, melanoma rates among Australians have been steadily decreasing, 6% per year for girls and 12% per year for boys, suggesting that efforts to reduce UV exposure have been effective. Meanwhile, incidence continued to rise each year in England.
