[Malignant melanoma morbidity in Moscow].
The incidence of malignant melanoma of the skin in Moscow in 1983-1987 was studied. The average age-standardized index for the 5 years was 2.3% for males and 3.2% for females. The cumulative risk of the disease by the age of 75 years was 0.25% for males and 0.32% for females. The likelihood of skin melanoma development in each five-year age bracket appeared different and was characterized by a complex curve suggesting several etiologically heterogeneous forms of the disease.
