Factors related to the presentation of thin and thick nodular melanoma from a population‐based cancer registry in Queensland Australia
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Worldwide, the incidence of thick melanoma has not declined, and the nodular melanoma (NM) subtype accounts for nearly 40% of newly diagnosed thick melanoma. To assess differences between patients with thin (≤2.00 mm) and thick (≥2.01 mm) nodular melanoma, the authors evaluated factors such as demographics, melanoma detection patterns, tumor visibility, and physician screening for NM alone and compared clinical presentation and anatomic location of NM with superficial spreading melanoma (SSM). METHODS: The authors used data from a large population‐based study of Queensland (Australia) residents diagnosed with melanoma. Queensland residents aged 20 to 75 years with histologically confirmed first primary invasive cutaneous melanoma were eligible for the study, and all questionnaires were conducted by telephone (response rate, 77.9%). RESULTS: During this 4‐year period, 369 patients with nodular melanoma were interviewed, of whom 56.7% were diagnosed with tumors ≤2.00 mm. Men, older individuals, and those who had not been screened by a physician in the past 3 years were more likely to have nodular tumors of greater thickness. Thickest nodular melanoma (4 mm+) was also most common in persons who had not been screened by a physician within the past 3 years (odds ratio, 3.75; 95% confidence interval, 1.47‐9.59). Forty‐six percent of patients with thin nodular melanoma (≤2.00 mm) reported a change in color, compared with 64% of patients with thin SSM and 26% of patients with thick nodular melanoma (>2.00 mm). CONCLUSIONS: Awareness of factors related to earlier detection of potentially fatal nodular melanomas, including the benefits of a physician examination, should be useful in enhancing public and professional education strategies. Particular awareness of clinical warning signs associated with thin nodular melanoma should allow for more prompt diagnosis and treatment of this subtype. Cancer 2009. © 2009 American Cancer Society.

Other factors associated with delayed diagnosis are related to the opportunity to consult a dermatologist rather than a general practitioner.

From Use of Smartphones for Early Detection of Melanoma: Systematic Review (2018) · cites this paper as [4]
The Conclusions (page unavailable) report that thick nodular melanoma was more common among people without a physician skin examination in the preceding three years and among those who detected their own lesions. That supports an association with physician examination, but the paper does not compare opportunities to consult a dermatologist rather than a general practitioner. (LLM, conf=0.84)

From Use of Smartphones for Early Detection of Melanoma: Systematic Review (2018) · cites this paper as [4]
The Conclusions (page not provided) associate thicker nodular melanoma with patient characteristics, including male sex, advanced age, and self-detection rather than physician detection. These findings support a patient-related component to later detection, but the paper does not establish that those factors caused a delay in diagnosis or measure diagnostic delay directly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
