Background
Although considered as a first‐group carcinogen, indoor tanning is a common practice in Europe. Euromelanoma is a pan‐European skin cancer prevention campaign.
Objectives
To compare several European countries in terms of the prevalence and determinants of sunbed use.
Methods
Participants in the Euromelanoma campaigns filled in questionnaires containing demographics and risk factors,...
Introduction
Sunbed use has been significantly associated with increased risk of melanoma and non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), but its relationship with melanoma's risk factors such as high nevus count, atypical nevi and lentigines is poorly studied. Euromelanoma is a skin cancer prevention campaign conducted all over Europe. It offers a once‐a‐year screening during which participants’ data, including...
Although exposure to indoor tanning has been established as a clear risk factor for skin cancer, sunbeds are still commonly used in Europe. Understanding the determinants of sunbed use in Europe is key to plan educational interventions, behavioural strategies and legislative measures, which should be tailored to subgroups with different risk profiles. Evidences show that the typical sunbed users in...
Background
The use of UV‐emitting tanning devices for cosmetic purposes is associated with an increased risk of melanoma and non‐melanoma skin cancer. Young women are the most frequent users, therefore, there is an increasing concern about the regulation of sunbed use.
Objective
The primary objective is to assess the current legislation on sunbed use among European countries.
Methods

Ovarian cancers comprise several histologically distinct tumour groups with widely different prognosis. We aimed to describe the worldwide distribution of ovarian cancer histology and to understand what role this may play in international variation in survival.The CONCORD programme is the largest population-based study of global trends in cancer survival. Data on 681,759 women diagnosed during 1995–2009...
Ovarian cancer comprises several histological groups with widely differing levels of survival. We aimed to explore international variation in survival for each group to help interpret international differences in survival from all ovarian cancers combined. We also examined differences in stage-specific survival.The CONCORD programme is the largest population-based study of global trends in cancer...
