Dublin, Aug. 10, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Malignant Melanoma Forecast in 20 Major Markets 2016-2026" report to their offering. Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma is a form of cancer of the skin arising from melanocytes on the external surface of the skin. It can occur anywhere on the body and is more aggressive than the other two forms of skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell non-melanoma cell skin cancer). Melanoma is the result of a combination of genetic / phenotypic predisposition and environmental catalysts. This report provides the current incident population for Malignant Melanoma across 20 Major Markets (USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Sweden, Norway, Japan, China, Russia, Australia, Canada, Turkey, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico) split by gender and 5-year age cohort. Along with the current incidence, the report also contains a disease overview of the risk factors, disease diagnosis and prognosis along with specific variations by geography and ethnicity. Providing a value-added level of insight, several of the main symptoms and co-morbidities of Malignant Melanoma have been quantified and presented alongside the overall incidence figures. These sub-populations within the main disease are also included at a country level across the 10-year forecast snapshot.
