The ongoing racial disparities in melanoma: an analysis of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER) database (1975-2016)

• Racial disparity in melanoma survival persists since 2010. In all minority groups, patients with localized disease suffered worsening disparity. In patients with regional or distant disease, Hispanic patients were the only minority to suffer increasing disparity. • Improving post-diagnosis man agement for minorities with localized disease is imperative to improve survival outcomes.
