Overview
Around 160,000 new cases of melanoma are diagnosed worldwide each year, and it is more frequent in males and caucasians.[1] It is more common in caucasian populations living in sunny climates than other groups.[2] According to the WHO Report about 48,000 melanoma related deaths occur worldwide per annum.[3]
