Incidence rates were lower in black patients (\u221295%; 95% CI, \u221298 to \u221290) compared with white patients and in male patients (\u221239%; 95% CI \u221246 to \u221231) compared with females. Increased ambient UV radiation was associated with elevated risk (19% per kJ; 95% CI, 9 to 30). Children with melanoma had a 5-year melanoma-specific survival of 93.6% (95% CI, 91.9 to 94.9), which improved from 1973 to 2001. The hazard ratio of death from melanoma increased with male sex; older age; advanced disease; location of the primary other than extremities or torso; earlier year of diagnosis; and previous cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The incidence of melanoma in the United States is increasing rapidly in children. Risk factors for pediatric melanoma include being white, being female, increasing age, and environmental UV radiation. Survival is decreased for children and adolescents with unfavorable prognostic factors (male sex, unfavorable site, and\/or second primary or regional or distant metastasis). More effective therapeutic strategies are needed for these groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/jco.2005.02.899","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,20]],"date-time":"2005-07-20T19:55:03Z","timestamp":1121889303000},"page":"4735-4741","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":320,"title":["Pediatric Melanoma: Risk Factor and Survival Analysis of the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Database"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"John J.","family":"Strouse","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore; Biostatistics Branch and Genetics Epidemiology Branch\/Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics and Pediatric Oncology Branch\/Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas R.","family":"Fears","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore; Biostatistics Branch and Genetics Epidemiology Branch\/Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics and Pediatric Oncology Branch\/Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margaret A.","family":"Tucker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore; Biostatistics Branch and Genetics Epidemiology Branch\/Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics and Pediatric Oncology Branch\/Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alan S.","family":"Wayne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore; Biostatistics Branch and Genetics Epidemiology Branch\/Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics and Pediatric Oncology Branch\/Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"233","reference":[{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2559.2001.01102.x"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Pappo AS, Ries LAG, Herzog C, et al: Malignant melanoma in the first three decades of life: A report from the U.S. Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program. 23:721,2004,  (abstr 7557)","DOI":"10.1200\/jco.2004.22.90140.7557"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2001.19.16.3622"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejca.2003.06.001"},{"key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1994.01690080084012"},{"key":"R7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.onc.1206444"},{"key":"R8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0215(19970106)70:1<26::AID-IJC4>3.0.CO;2-8"},{"key":"R9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4065\/72.4.356"},{"key":"R10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0959-8049(01)00006-5"},{"key":"R11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0142(19990201)85:3<750::AID-CNCR26>3.0.CO;2-5"},{"key":"R12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Milton GW, Shaw HM, Thompson JF, et al: Cutaneous melanoma in childhood: Incidence and prognosis.
