Abstract

Objective: to study the dynamics of incidence and mortality from melanoma of skin in Ukraine and Zaporizhzhia region in the 20th and at the beginning of the 21st century.

Materials and methods: review of specialized literature was performed, statistical reporting forms were analyzed.

Results and discussion. In 2012, 3289 new cases and 1174 deaths from melanoma in Ukraine were registered. At the same time incidence and mortality amounted to 4.7 and 1.6 per 100.000 population, respectively. In 2012, in Zaporizhzhia region 140 new cases of skin melanoma (incidence – 5.3 per 100.000 population), and 50 deaths from it (mortality – 1.9 per 100,000 population) were registered. In 2002, 2358 new cases and 1021 deaths from melanoma were registered in Ukraine. General incidence of skin melanoma in Ukraine in 2002 was 3.3 per 100,000 population and the death rate from melanoma of skin was 1.4 per 100.000 population.

Conclusions. In Ukraine at the beginning of the 21st century within 10 years, the number of cases of melanoma and deaths increased by 42 % and 14 %, respectively. The annual incidence rate of skin melanoma growth in Ukraine amounted to 4.2 % and an annual increasing of mortality from melanoma of skin – 1.4 %. In Zaporizhzhia region at the beginning of the 21st century within 10 years incidence of melanoma and mortality from it increased by 36 % and 12 %, respectively. The annual increasing of incidence rate in Zaporizhzhia region is 3.6 % and the annual increasing in mortality from melanoma of skin – 1.2 %.
