摘要

Introduction: Melanomas in Asians have different clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis from melanomas in Caucasians. This study reviewed the epidemiology and treatment outcomes of cutaneous melanoma diagnosed at a tertiary referral dermatology centre in Singapore, which has a multiracial population. The study also determined whether Asians had comparable relapse-free and overall survival periods to Caucasians in Singapore. Method: This is a retrospective review of cutaneous melanoma cases in our centre between 1996 and 2015. Results: Sixty-two cases of melanoma were diagnosed in 61 patients: 72.6% occurred in Chinese, 19.4% in Caucasians and 3.2% in Indians, with an over-representation of Caucasians. Superficial spreading melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma and nodular melanoma comprised 37.1%, 35.5% and 22.6% of the cases, respectively. The median time interval to diagnosis was longer in Asians than Caucasians; median Breslow’s thickness in Asians were significantly thicker than in Caucasians (2.6mm versus 0.9mm, P=0.018) and Asians tend to present at a later stage. The mortality rates for Asians and Caucasians were 52% and 0%, respectively. Conclusion: More physician and patient education on skin cancer awareness is needed in our Asian-predominant population for better outcomes. Keywords: Asian, melanoma, nails, skin neoplasm, survival
