Cited in Scopus: 23Melanoma incidence has been increasing in light-skinned populations worldwide, but the reasons for the increase have been controversial. Our prior assessment in California non-Hispanic whites showed substantial increases in invasive melanoma incidence for tumors of all thicknesses in all neighborhoods categorized by socioeconomic status (SES) between 1988–1992 and 1998–2002. To understand whether these trends continued, we updated our assessment to include the diagnosis period 2008–2012 and more accurate pathologic stage at diagnosis.
