## Abstract The incidence of melanoma increases markedly in the second decade of life but almost nothing is known of the causes of melanoma in this age group. We report on the first population‐based case‐control study of risk factors for melanoma in adolescents (15–19 years). Data were collected th
The objective of this study was to describe recent developments in cutaneous melanoma from the German speaking countries in Europe (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) and from Queensland, Australia. ## METHODS. All incident invasive cutaneous melanoma cases recorded between 1986 and 1996 by the Q
