Rising Melanoma Cases in the United States (2010–2025)

This line graph represents the average number of new melanoma cases, including both

invasive and noninvasive, in the United States from 2010-2025. Melanoma is the most

serious form of skin cancer, and can be treated if caught early. One example of this is

the situ phase, or stage 0, when the cancer only exists on the epidermis. Overall, the

number of cases has increased each year, with a noticeable drop from 2018-2019. Over

the last four years, the number of cases has skyrocketed significantly, reaching over

200,000 per year. This highlights the importance of sun protection and education, as

sun cancer cases will only continue to rise.
