The incidence of melanoma in Central Hesse, the catchment area of the Dermatological Clinic of the University of Giessen, was 11.1 per 100,000 inhabitants in 1984.

Apart from the real increase, this is probably due to an intensive public and professional melanoma education project and higher public awareness.
