Abstract
New cases of primary cutaneous melanoma occurring in Queensland in a recent twelve month period were ascertained from pathology records. The reported incidence rates have risen, even in a two and a half year period, from 32.7 in 1977 to 39.6 per 100,000 population in 1979–80. The main prognostic features are presented and confirm an increased proportion of thin tumours, particularly of the lentigo maligna melanoma type. To determine underlying medical and public awareness of melanoma a random sample of the total year's patients was interviewed to establish how the tumours were first noticed. This factor of awareness in an educated high-risk community may affect the observed incidence patterns of malignant melanoma and should be considered when seeking to explain the reported rising trends.
