Demographic, clinical and pathological data were extracted and analysed by experts, including dermatologists, pathologists and epidemiologists.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> One hundred and seventy\u2010seven <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic> melanomas were diagnosed in 177 patients (female\/male ratio\u2003:\u20031.72). Patients with head and neck <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic> melanomas were older than patients with melanomas in other locations (72 vs. 54\u2003years; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.0001). Six hundred and sixty\u2010one invasive melanomas were diagnosed (female\/male ratio\u2003:\u20031.26), corresponding to an annual incidence rate of 6.3\/100\u2003000. Male patients had thicker and more frequently ulcerated tumours. The location widely varied between genders, involving the trunk in 47% of male patients and the lower limb in 48% of female patients. Older patients had thicker and more advanced melanomas, with a more frequent head and neck location. Nodular, acral lentiginous and unclassified melanomas were much thicker than superficial spreading and lentigo maligna melanomas (4.37 vs. 1.33\u2003mm, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.0001). Primary melanomas of advanced stages were more frequent in one of the four districts of the study area. Overall, the mean Breslow thickness (2.02\u2003mm) was much higher than that previously observed in other regions of north\u2010eastern France (1.59\u2003mm).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> Information and screening campaigns should particularly target rural areas, males, older people and focus on nodular,
