Abstrakt		The incidence of epithelial cutaneous carcinoma as well as of malignant melanoma has sharply increased in recent decades. For this reason, cutaneous tumors have been studied with more interest which resulted in an earlier recognition of such lesions. Among prognostic factors, the tumor width according to Breslow's criteria, invasion level according to Clark, sex, anatomic localization, clinical-histological subtype and patient's age are commonly cited. The effects of sun-bathing are still under investigation with special interest in an increased risk in people who were exposed to intermitent sun-bathing in their childhood. The importance of massive screenings in prevention has been overestimated.
Izvleček		V zadnjih desetletjih je zelo narasla incidenca tako epitelijskih kožnih karcinomov kot malignega melanoma. To je tudi razlog za pospešeno preučevanje zlasti malignih melanomov, zaradi česar jih danes odkrivamo v zgodnejših stadijih. Med prognostičnimi dejavniki je treba pri malignem melanomu izpostaviti zlasti debelino po Breslowu, stopnjo invazije po Clarku, spol, anatomsko lokalizacijo, klinično histološki podtip in starost. Vpliv sončenja na razvoj melanoma je še vedno predmet študij, domnevajo pa, da so najbolj ogrožene osebe, ki so bile v otroštvu izpostavljene občasnemu sončnemu obsevanju. Množični presejalni testi v smislu prevencije problema malignega melanoma niso zmanjšali.
