Sex disparities in melanoma stage, recurrence and mortality: A Danish cohort study, 2004 to 2024
This nationwide cohort study found that males were more likely to be diagnosed with more advanced stages of melanoma. Analyses stratified by stage at diagnosis, showed that males had a 20%-50% higher risk of melanoma recurrence, melanoma-specific and overall mortality across localized, locoregional and metastatic melanoma.
