A risk prediction model for development of subsequent primary melanoma in a population-based cohort.

CONCLUSIONS: The risk of developing a subsequent primary melanoma varies considerably between individuals and is particularly high for those with two or more previous melanomas. This risk prediction model and nomograms enables estimation of absolute risk of subsequent melanoma based on an individual's risk factors and can be used to tailor surveillance intensity, communicate risk and provide patient education.
