TLDR
Among younger cohorts in some populations (e.g., Australia and New Zealand,), stabilizing or declining incidence rates of CM are observed, potentially caused by primary prevention campaigns aimed at reducing UV exposure, in contrast, incidence rates are still rising in most European countries and in the USA.
Abstract
Melanoma and keratinocyte skin cancer (KSC) are the most common types of cancer in White-skinned populations. Both tumor entities showed increasing incidence rates worldwide but stable or decreasing mortality rates. Rising incidence rates of cutaneous melanoma (CM) and KSC are largely attributed to increasing exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the main causal risk factor for skin cancer.

Beyond Nicotinamide Metabolism: Potential Role of Nicotinamide N-Methyltransferase as a Biomarker in Skin Cancers

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the state of the art as concerns NNMT role in skin cancer is presented, which aims to summarize the state-of-the-art as concerns the role of n-methyltransferase in SC and to support future studies focused on exploring the diagnostic and prognostic potential of nNMT in skin malignancies and its suitability for targeted therapy.

Skin Lesion Classification by Multi-View Filtered Transfer Learning

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors exploited transfer learning for skin lesion classification task with the help of labeled data from another domain (source), and proposed a multi-view filtered transfer learning network to strongly represent discriminative information from different image views with reasonable weighing strategy.

TL;DR: The overall cancer death rate dropped continuously from 1991 to 2016 by a total of 27%, translating into approximately 2,629,200 fewer cancer deaths than would have been expected if death rates had remained at their peak.

TL;DR: Overall cancer incidence trends are stable in women, but declining by 3.1% per year in men, much of which is because of recent rapid declines in prostate cancer diagnoses, and brain cancer has surpassed leukemia as the leading cause of cancer death among children and adolescents.
