Trends in socioeconomic inequalities in the incidence of cutaneous melanoma in Canada from 1992 to 2010

Our analyses suggest that incidence rates of melanoma are becoming more concentrated amongst Canadians with lower levels of education. Consequently, campaigns and public policies related to the prevention of melanoma in Canada should focus on Canadians with higher income and lower levels of education.
