Kurzfassung:
What's new? In the United States, the vast majority of melanomas are attributable to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Little is known, however, about the state‐by‐state burden of melanoma due to UV exposure. This study shows that UV‐attributable melanoma incidence rates among non‐Hispanic whites vary substantially among U.S. states. Relative to historical reference data, for the period 2011‐2015 the proportion of UV‐attributable melanomas ranged from 87 to 97.3 percent, while cases ranged from 15.1 to 65.1 per 100,000 persons. Despite these variations, the relatively high burden of UV‐attributable melanoma in each state highlights the need for prevention strategies that reach the entire U.S. population.
