\"\"<\/a>The National Cancer Institute\u2019s cancer registry now shows that melanoma incidence in women under 20 years of age is significantly less than 1 case per 100,000 girls and has actually decreased in the past 10 years \u2014 published data that fly in the face of what dermatology has claimed.<\/p>\n

The melanoma incidence rate for women under age 20 was about 0.5 cases per 100,000 girls in 2008 \u2014 a small decrease from around 0.6 cases per 100,000 in 2000. In whole numbers, that\u2019s a reduction from 6 cases per million to 5 cases per million.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn lobbying against indoor tanning, dermatology has falsely alleged that this number is increasing based on anecdotal stories, but the data just aren\u2019t there,\u201d Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy said. \u201cThis is the government\u2019s own data. There is no way to spin this. It is what it is. And what it shows is there is no increase in this group and that the numbers in this group are really small.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where melanoma is increasing is men over age 50. In that group, incidence rates have risen from about 62 per 100,000 in 2000 to around 80 per 100,000 in 2008 \u2014 a 29 percent increase in just eight years.<\/p>\n

\u201cDermatology directs almost none of its public health campaigns about melanoma at the group actually getting melanoma,\u201d Levy said. \u201cInstead the focus on the group that has historically been their best customers for most of their cosmetic services: young women. It\u2019s an abrogation of trust for a medical discipline to continue to mislead the public in this fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Cancer Institute\u2019s data form the basis for the American Cancer Society\u2019s annual cancer figures. ACS has often said that NCI\u2019s data actually is more accurate for year-to-year comparisons. But even ACS published in its annual report that since 2000 melanoma incidence has been stable and the mortality rates have been declining since the mid-1980s for women.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not the story that is being told externally by anti-sun groups right now,\u201d Levy said. \u201cThey are not representing the data correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n
