A new study by scientists from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and partners predicts that the number of new cases of cutaneous melanoma per year will increase by more than 50% from 2020 to 2040.
In 2020, an estimated 325 000 new cases of melanoma were diagnosed worldwide and 57 000 people died from the disease. There are large geographical variations in incidence rates across countries and world regions.
