Dear colleques,
Although I have studied the literature intensively I am not succeeding in
finding absolut risk numbers for sun exposure and developing melanoma .
What I try to do is to say : When X persons are being exposed to the sun
for a certain period, every day, only on holliday, or whatever), Y will
develop melanoma and X-Y do not, and when Q persons are exposed less or
more M will develop melanoma and Q-M will not, like in the 4 field tables,
described for treatment.
Does anybody knows about such numbers or studies or literature ? I only can
find case controlled studies mentioning odd ratio's, which doesn't say
anything about absolut risks.
Thanks a lot
With best regards,
Dr. Klazien Matter-Walstra
