A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) revealed that Black men face a significantly higher risk of death from melanoma compared to other racial groups.
The study analyzed a vast dataset of 205,125 male patients diagnosed with cutaneous invasive melanoma between 2004 and 2018, sourced from the National Cancer Database.Among the various racial groups studied, Black men exhibited the lowest five-year survival rate at a mere 51.7%.Although white men are more prone to developing melanoma, the study emphasized that Black individuals face a 26% higher risk of death than their white counterparts.
The researchers said they sought to fill the knowledge gap and shed light on race’s role in men’s melanoma outcomes. Ashley Wysong, the chair of the Department of Dermatology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and a co-author of the study, emphasized that even after accounting for later stages of diagnosis, men still exhibited worse overall survival rates than women with melanoma.
The JAAD study also found melanoma-related disparities among Black women, who demonstrated the highest percentage of tumors in the lower extremities, encompassing the legs, ankles, and feet.
