Request
Could I please ask the number of Melanoma Cases in Jersey for the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
Response
Information currently available has identified the approximate numbers of melanoma cases reported in the stated years, as follows:
| | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 (up to 31 June) |
Episodes | 101 | 114 | 78 | 112 | 104 | 34 |
Patients | 93 | 101 | 70 | 100 | 97 | 34 |
NOTE:
Some patients may have had a re-excision of the same incident of melanoma either in the same year as the original diagnosis or an alternative year within the search criteria, so not all patients are new.
Some patients may have had melanoma diagnosed in more than one site either in the same year as the first diagnosis or an alternative year within the search criteria.
